Which has been my point all along.
Given the good that we know stems from religion it is impossible to make a universal statement that religion is all about "helping humans to kill each other."
People will kill for myriad reasons... religion is but one excuse. Remember that religions are created by people. People are falible. Why should you expect anything different?
Secular law has parts in it that allow us kill others and justify war. Religion is just another tool in the toolbox.
That said, secular law, like religion has does a lot of good as well. In fact, I would argue, they are mostly good, with some very bad examples. Bad examples that you are focusing on to the exclusion of the good.
