I can certainly see why you would feel this way, considering all the suffering and persecution in this world occuring in the name of religion. It has become so commonplace to blame religion for these problems, because people, even religious leaders, will try to use their religion to justify their actions. But this was never the intent of those who started the religions. Jesus said "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." This is a far different attitude then people are taking today.
