They're not. If they're taken as fictional morality tales in their proper context.

They are when people believe in them (and all of the associated supernatural claims that go alongside) and cling so firmly to those beliefs that they can't see anything beyond them.

I'm not even saying that religion hasn't had its place in the past... As a sort of hand-holding morality tool for simple folks who didn't have the understanding to consider morality as an abstract concept and needed it to be dumbed down and humanised with deities and even literal human avatars of those deities. But I like to think - it at least like to HOPE - that we will, as a collective, be ready to move on from that at some point.
