Weak minds and perversion of religion is the issue.
Religion is the basis for morality and was paramount in culling the majority of barbarism in the world.
I understand how you formed your opinion, things are ugly out there.
However, I'm sure you understand that religion is being used as a tool for control, as it has been forever.
Whether it is a tool for good or evil is up to whether it is a true believer or iconoclast wielding it.
Religion is one basis for morality, but not the only one. I'm agnostic. There may be a divine creator, I don't know. I haven't ruled it out as a possibility. I try to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Not because of a reward or punishment in a potential afterlife.
