People comment those acts and sometimes they use religion to justify them but the communist proved that people are capable of sufficient maiming and killing with religion. Religion can and does do a lot of good of in the world. If you just look at the Judaea Christian value system there are definitely parts of it that need to be tossed out but most of those tend to be culture then anything else.
Sorry but the idea that we can somehow make the world better by killing religion as misguided as the idea that we can make the world better by having only one "true" religion. What real changes to you think could be accomplished if we did manage to kill religion? Do you think people would actually start treating each other better if the didn’t believe in god?

The good usually balances the bad in religion. I think that religion engenders an incredible amount of hate in the world, but I don't think getting rid of religions is going to get rid of the hate. People will just find other things to discriminate and hate over.
