Homosexuality

This is more of a question about how Religion views homosexuals. Think about it, if religion said being a homosexual was "ok" and "natural", would so many people be homophobic? As a generalization, most homophobic people are either religious or conservative, or both. My belief is that religion is a good idea, but people have taken it and twisted it into something evil and corrupt. I am not an atheist, I am agnostic. To me, religion is just something to explain the unexplainable, something to make people feel better, to feel more secure. There may be a God, there may not be a God. But look at it this way: What did ancient cultures attribute a volcano eruption to? "You've angered the Gods!" They attributed things they did not understand, like volcano eruptions, to the Gods. So, using this logic, I think that people use religion to try to explain things they do not understand (Like Death) to a higher power, aka God. I'm not saying this idea is bad in itself, but when people become closed minded because of this then it becomes a limitation. When people refuse to realize one simple truth because of religion, then religion becomes harmful to society. This truth I speak of? That all people, all humans, are created equal, and no one is any better then anyone else. Everyone is equal, including homosexuals.
