It wasn't religion that gave us Mutually Assured Destruction, nor that killed fifty million people in the Soviet Union, nor did religion begin or play any major part in the two most cataclysmic wars of the last century. For that matter, religion has largely opposed the march of technological progress that is the central feature of modern history, and the feature most likely to lead to our extinction.
