Thought of an analogy that might help separate the issues.

Guns are a tool that serves the purpose of its user. Whether it's to take a life or save one for instance. Guns can create a common bond and were important in enforcing order when civilization got a bit rocky. When a person uses a gun to kill a bunch of people, most rationale people blame the person who use a gun in a way that 99.9% of others never would. That person was probably crazy. After all, you know a bunch of people with guns and they would never do that. Hell, you have a gun and you'd never do that!

Replace the word gun in the sentence above, with religion. OH SHI-

For the record, I think religion is pretty silly. I've seen it do good and harm. The good correlates pretty exactly with wealth, health, and opportunity. I wonder if there are places where there is less of that...
