Religion is hardly restricting human development. It has sparked some of humanity's greatest achievements. One needs only to remember how much of the art of the Renaissance was influenced by religion, or to view the beautiful cathedrals, mosques, and some of the giant Buddha statues to know.
Religion is like almost everything else man practices: It has good and bad traits. It has been used for great evil and for great good. It can just as easily inspire creativity, reason, and morality in a person as it can hatred and intolerance. Just because it doesn't go right every time is no reason to get rid of it.
