"We do seem to have accepted here that organised religion is to blame for the bad things that people do because of it and in its name."

'WE' haven't precisely accepted any such thing, Shambles...you take liberties in generalizing from a few comments. I DO have problems with a lot of aspects of religion and its organized components, but I'd prefer to draw my own conclusions about my own opinions, thank you. "to blame" is a heavy remark, and it's not clear whether the schema or the adherents are meant.
