I never cease to be amazed a how when something marvellous happens it is the work of God, yet when something disgusting happens, it is the work of man.
I dont see the problem. Honestly you should try a different perspective on this particular subject.
let me give you an exemple:
You see a man helping poor people to feed themselves. You say that god is generous...
you see a man murdering another man. You say that men can do horrible things.
is it really unfair? it's actually not. because god ordered men to help the poor. while he also ordered to not murder. it's pretty simple.
god is a "good" entity... so everything "good" is his "work".
And I personnaly love religions. I mean Abrahmic religions (Judaism, Christianism and Islam).
God doesnt love us because of the language we speak, our nationality, the color of our skin... he doesnt care about these things.
Religion can be used to boost the morale of the troops.
It's easier to be brave when you know that you are doing it for the good cause. the cause of god. when you fight corruption and injustice.
I take Islam as an exemple here:
In Islam, there is no holy war... all this Jihad as holy war is a big joke. of course, some Muslims fell into this joke... and a large part of the Occidental world also believe in it.
in Islam offensive war is even forbidden. you wont see a Muslim starting a preventive war...
and about Jihad, there is the little jihad and great Jihad.
Jihad means struggle. the great jihad is everyday's struggle to be a good person. and the little jihad is the auto-defence duty on every able male.
fighting back a thief is a jihad... and going to war is a jihad the same way...
so I kind of laugh when I hear people talking about "jihad" like if it was a war against them just for being different.
and I see the media speak about it the same way... for me, it's a big joke.
we (men) do war for money, fame, power, women, oil, lands, prestige, honor...
god have nothing to do with all of this... when you are religious, all you care about is being a nice strong person... that's it.
