Judge not the sword for the action's of those who wield it, for religion is an instrument for peace just as much as it is war. Yes blame religion for violence, what a good scapegoat it makes! No need for you to look deeper into the problems that plague your world when you can just blame it all on religion, instead of the avarice of a few.
What you are now is exactly the same as you were, less than a pawn, at least a pawn can tell when it is being used.
That's an easy statement to make from somebody who likely hasn't seen religion when given full freedom to blossom into the Amorphophallus Titanum that it truly is.
I'm not a simpleton, I'm aware that violence can, and does, occur in the absence of religion. I take issue with religion's consistent and malevolent shielding and so called forgiveness of the violence wrought in its name.
As the saying goes, even a Pawn can take a King.
Take issue not with religion but with those who would use it to do harm to others, particularly the avarice who would profit from the turmoil and suffering it would create, but instead you blame religion and not the avarice! Yet you claim to be no simpleton, what then shall I make of you?
