A Hobbit's Tales #responses

Yesterday, I stumbled upon an article written by a fellow writer and bibliophile named Mia. (Hey, Mia!) She is an atheist, so her article was on what she believes to be "the downsides of religion." Intrigued by the title, I read the article and came to the conclusion that it'd be interesting to write a response to it from my perspective as a Christian. Graciously, Mia gave me permission to do so. Hence this post.
