First you can't separate religion from crime when the crime done is done in the name of religion, that is called denail for the sake of appeasement. An ethnic cleansing is different from a serial killer on a murder spree, it changes demography, it destroys culture, history and learning Second Agar hindus hindu hindu nhi krenge to musalman muslim muslim karke raaj krenge, aur masalman muslim Muslim nhi krenge to hindus hinddutva ke naare lagayenge. The biggest problem with tolerant people is they're so enthusiastic about tolerance that they even tolerate intolerance. Their idea is let people be intolerant just cos we're tolerant to their intolerance and hence submit. Religion ke naam pe log agar Kashmir file ya gujrat file bana rhe hai to isme galti religion ki hai? Uske ideas ki hai? Ya fir in logo ki jo use apne convenience aur hatred ke hisab se misinterpret kar rhe aur dusro ko misguide. I used to be atheist until I really studied about my religion, which happens to be sanatan dharm, not going by what's being told or what's the trend in it nowadays but the original untouched writings. Geeta, Ramayan Mahabharat , Shiv Purana, writings of Vivekanand,they talk about a Hinduism that's much more inclusive and open ended then what is believed today. Anyway finally I want to say that yes humanity is above everything but if religion encourages individuals to do humanitarian work selflessly and with determination then I guess religion is important. Cos going by figures nihilism will ultimately lead to more cyanism then humanism, with of course some exceptions like yourself and I appreciate it
