Atheists who use this as a point (as if their "triumvirate of misery" that is the Abrahamic religions have given anything else to mankind than new rationales and enablers to all the same old atrocities and evils mankind ever invented, and also implying there wasn't chaos, destruction, misery and depravity before the Abrahamic religions were invented) are the equivalent of feminists blaming the patriarchy. It's easy to pretend like you're fighting oppression when the enemy is a faceless non-entity, and you don't have to actually do anything.
Most non-Abrahamic religions encourage you to anticipate death in the hope of transcending the misery of the physical realm. The followers are taught to prepare to leave everything on Earth behind for greater glory in the afterlife, that worldly pursuits are vanity.
The harsh flavour of a world devoid of religions (i.e. make-believe fantasy) would be soul crushing to those living in misery which would viciously swarm and attack those who live as kings in this world because there's no good or evil just actions.
Stephen Fry is a stupid person's idea of what an intelligent person is like, he is only popular with the smug metropolitan liberal demographic. For these people he has a impeccable past.
Rich middle class parents, childhood rebellion including running away from home and stealing a friend's credit card, a short prison sentence which didn't harm him due to his background, an education at Cambridge University, straight into the Cambridge art and comedy scene, straight into the BBC and then comes out as gay, buggered and married a young adolescent.

I had no idea Stephen Fry was such a reasonable man.
