Religion is a human invention, so yes - I am most certainly interested in how humans have negatively affected our world - THROUGH the tool that is religion.
If that's your view, don't blame the tool then. Blame individuals.
The first step is of stopping someone with a knife is to get the knife out of their hands. The first step in stopping the evils of religion is to discredit religion in the minds of people everywhere.
Friar Zero:
That's a lousy analogy.
Good luck taking the knife out of the hands of someone when you don't have a knife yourself...
Jackie Chan could do it (read: it takes skill)
Jackie Chan is awesome! The world could use more Jackie Chans ;)

Anneke could do it with a stare (Tracy too)
Honeychan? not so much
That which one calls religion is a human construct that is product of the systematisation of beliefs therefore your distinction is quite spurious and mostly irrevelant
