Many organized religions yes. To say that all religion is bad because people have turned into something evil isn't fair though.
It's like the old bumper sticker: I'm fine with God, it's his followers I have the problems with.
To say that because people (which I think we can all agree are imperfect and do stupid, selfish, and hurtful things) screwed up the concept of God negates God is illogical. If I go on an interview on TV and say one thing, but they re-edit the film to make me say something else, it doesn't mean that's what I think. Altering your perception of reality doesn't make your perception the correct one.
I realize this argument goes both ways, but it's not my point to prove me right or you wrong in regards to our beliefs. However, my religion does not involve lying to people or exploiting them. It's very much the opposite. And as far as I know, I'm not encouraging anyone to support anyone elite.
To make a blanket statement that all religions do that is ignorant and false.
