I think it's more thanks to brain washing and hatred, and damaged empathy. See followers of the very same religion who are outraged and disgusted by the actions of terrorists.
I'm not saying there isn't a pattern of correlation between religious radicalism and violence and hatred, there is. I just mean that this is a bit more complex of an issue than 'religion is bad, without it everyone would just sing Kumbaya and hug'.
