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.

That's a lousy analogy.

Good luck taking the knife out of the hands of someone when you don't have a knife yourself...

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
