And it usually revolves around one specific religion. I'm religious(a bit) and I absolutely agree that religion is the root of all evil. How many people throughout history have used it to serve their murderous agenda?

What an asinine statement! So if reigion were not in the human consciousness, we's all be living in some sort of paradise? This train of thought is both dangerous and terribly niave. If we all think that humans are naturally 'good' and all thr problems in human history are attribuntal to that fact, then we truly haven't learned from our history are are thus doomed to repeat it with some sort of other creed or doctine that will be just as bad or not worse.
So Stalin wasn't a 'true communist' because he grew up in a religious household?? WTF are you people on? Humans WILL ALWAYS have conflicts and at the end of the day, any sane person can realize that religion has done more good than bad in human history.
This coming from a person who is NOT religious. The time has come to truly recognize the limitations of human progress and that blame lies with HUMANS. No one else.
