"Does this imply that something may be wrong with a religion ...any religion.... that can de used to ..lets say murder someone.?

If you are anti-religious, I can see how you could make that argument, and many people do. But then another person could make the same argument for any dogma or doctrine. So you would almost have to be an anarcist to authentically blame civil or religious doctrine for all evil. I wouldn't imply this but you may do as you wish.

There is no doubt that claims on religious doctrine and authority have been used throughout history to justify the killing of an innocent. You don't have to go too far to find dogmatic non-religious justifications like Stallin used or Mao Tse-Tung; they didn't label their actions murderous either.

No sane religious people, that I know of, claim their religious doctrine encourages or allows murder. We all know that murders have been committed in the name of religion and rational people see that as a corruption of the religion by the murderer(s).

Is there something wrong with a tool... any tool ... that can be used to ... lets say murder someone?
