Religion, along with a lot of other things, is what people make of it. In the wrong hands it can be poison, yes, but it isn't of it's own accord. And IMO it isn't as black and white as Killjoy makes it sound; organized religion being automatically bad. Sure, in the past thousands of people were killed in the name of Christianity, and nowadays there's a war going on 'in the name of Allah', but both of these religions are, in essence, about peace, love thy neighbor etc. It's the interpretation of a few individuals that made medieval Christianity and modern-day Islam (or at least parts of it) intolerant.
