Please name one GOOD thing your religion has accomplished and feel free to elaborate. I'll start:

Buddhism has given many people the ability to be tranquil in mind, and the teaching teaches that to realize enlightenment one will let go of attachments to everything in the physical word and unconditional love and compassion arise.
