You state a religion is morally corrupt due to actions 100s of years ago and then have the audacity to state that your goverment killing innocent people less than a decade ago is understandable. There is nothing but sad qualifications to your statement

Wait, wait, when did I say what the government did was right? What can I do to stop it? I chose not to follow catholic religion because it would be very hypocritical of me. I follow the citizenship code, I don't steal, kill or invade others property, etc. I vocally oppose the government's actions (you know I was against the war in Iraq, f.e.). I vote and try to convince people, but that's as much as I can do. But as a catholic, I'd break a lot of rules, like everybody else does and be a hypocrite. I chose not to become catholic or follow any other religion, even though I was brought up to believe and God and was baptized as a child.
Religion is a good way to scare/teach kids or make money, depends who you are. As the kids grow up, the same concepts tought in the Bible/Tora/Koran can be learned, understood and followed using other methods.
