The good of religion is far too often overlooked for the bad that has been done in the name of the same.
Humans being what they are will find excuses to justify their actions. Religion is but one excuse. There are many.
As for the Soviet/US conflict. Religion was but a tool in the tool box of persuasion. A method of further underscoring difference in the Other so as to demonize a foe. The true dispute was more about ideology and the world balance of power.
