It's true--churches have done a lot of good over the course of history--and continue to do so. It's too easy to dwell on the Inquisition and religious wars in general--and Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson's idiocies these days---and ignore the other side. I suspect that a lot of people who talk only about the abuses of Christianity would not assume that all Moslems are in the mold of Osama. The double standard is pretty blatant.

And I don't consider myself religious in the least--and hardly ever attend church.
