Like most things, your view of religion is your own paradigm of your creation. I believe we bring into it our own hurts and wants and then justify that it must be religion's fault.
As has been noted, religion has done some great things.
Also as has been noted, we find reasons to kill without religion. I would point towards any of the great killings perpetrated in the 20th century by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc., all done without religion.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C. S. Lewis
