I think we can all agree that the human race is full of great, selfless people and also complete nutcases. Personally I know many people of different religions that do dispicable things. I know a few priests that should never have been given care of younger boys. I myself was born a Catholic, baptised, got my first communion, went to Catechism for 8 years and am still an Atheist. I volunteer and help others in daily life because it makes me feel good, not because I'm scared of going to hell if I don't. Religous people, like any people, when forced to act in a way not in their nature, will eventually crack and do something stupid. Nice people, religous or not, will do good things because that's who they are. Again, the human race has all kinds. I believe in Big Bangs, others believe in miracles. Some people are good some people are George W. Bush. The only problem I have with religion are those people who kill others because they don't believe the same thing. I guess it's just hard for me to believe people can meet other cultures and not be facinated by them and want to learn more, instead of the blood baths that are all too common on this planet.
