Humans can find any reason to do evil and wicked things, but religion, to put it euphemistically, has far more blood on its hands than anything else in mankind's history. To ignore this is simply to be anti-historical.

Yes religion has the lions share of bloodshed on its hands through history, no doubt. But I cannot blame God for that, nor the bible. Anymore than you would blame evolution for the killing of millions of persons through eugenics.
