My question is, will it hurt anything if a routing protocol is setup on the router? In the router there are several sub interfaces and I know that it should just route what ever it needs to route but will it help the routing process if there is a routing protocol there?

there is need to set a dynamic routing protocol for 1 router. the router learns his direct connected network and the only route you need to add is your default route, which is basically one line static route.
