The corruption of religion is not in total it's own fault.
Absent of the generals and the merchants, it's done some good things.
Problem is, it's so so so easy to twist into all kinds of terrible things that I simply doubt that... on the balance... the individuals that have been helped by religion are outweighed by the destruction reeked by what religion has wrought in concert with armies and companies.
