Obviously not

It's certainly not a force for good in so many respects
It absolutely wouldn't have happened had some Christians not been able to galvanise a movement and effectively take over one of the two political parties in the US (and the courts).

People who use religion for their own gains causes so many problems (wars, persecution, division, etc). Greed is the other main cause.
