“Worst thing that ever happened to mankind” is a moral ranking, and rankings need a standard above human opinion or they’re just preference dressed up as fact.
If God’s not real, that’s just neurons firing that you happen to dislike. You need the very thing you’re denying to make the claim mean anything at all.

I think you should read more about human evolution and how our brains developed. Moral feelings did not appear out of nowhere, they evolved because empathy, cooperation, and protecting others helped conscious social beings survive. As i already mentioned... the fact that morality comes from a brain shaped by evolution does not make it meaningless. Our ability to reason also comes from our brains, but that doesn't make logic an illusion.
Why do you need god to have morals?
