One of the poisonous things about religion is that it can (and is) used to justify all sorts of horrors.

Yep!
Some use that sentiment to criticize 1 religion 10 times more than others which is fine - racists and bigots and focus on what they like.
Speaking for myself I agree with the above statement.
I fully applaud and appreciate that many organized religions do good things. And I feel the flocks - a majority of them - are good eggs.
But I feel that *all* organized religions are not based on the word of God but rather, they are based on MAN'S interpretation of the world of God, OR concoctions by cunning Ruling Classes of ancient times.
I am convinced these things were written by men who wanted a way to control women, have sex with women, control the masses, be in a position of power, and make money. *every* organized religion to this day has those traits.
The other reason wasn't so sinister: If the slick or the smart back then knew they had to control the hoi polloi, for instance - eating pork was not healthy - just tell them that 'God' deemed it wrong. There, problem solved.
Plenty of fine Believers out there - but plenty of - if not more - good non believers also.
Disclosure: Not an adherent to one religion. I am not atheist, I do believe in something - just not sure who or what that is. Whomever it is I hope they aren't offended by women-in-prison genre movies.
