This is untrue; religion is what keeps a good amount of the population in line, its why everyone obeys countless laws, rules, and regulations.

Its why many people are not raping and commiting genocide every day, its a fear of a mythical badass who is posed and ready to beat your head in. I do realize that many people are'nt religious, and athiests tend to be peaceful people anyway...

And yes, many wars have been fought and many people have died due to religion; but many more would suffer without its presence.
