I think the concept of religion has saved more lives than it has taken. Religious sources were the places that spread educational things like reading and writing. They are also a sort of social safety net for the less fortunate. People who are religious may also be less likely to kill in a non-religious war.
This is about as provable as the OP's assertion, so I won't try and give random examples though.
