Most religions I can think of seem to teach compassion and charity towards others but I saw this statement given in answer to another question. I'm interested to know more...

It doesn't really, it is just a convenient scapegoat, especially here on YA. Does anyone truly believe that there would be LESS conflict in the world if there was no religion ? Truly ? At the very best, it would be just the same (more likely to be worse). People will always find something to fight over, from want or greed.

each and every thing in existence has very practically 2 aspects the way we interpret and use our faith is the substantial faith will continually be a great ingredient and a mandatory ingredient however the way human beings use that's the only that is fastened or judged faith in specific cases like very practically each and every ingredient in existence is misused or incredibly abused to serve the two selfish aims or to impression human beings. yet that would not recommend it fairly is is the reason of harm to our international, considering that on the different hand faith has equipped civilizations, have been given human beings out of lack of information and lightened peoples paths

It doesn't cause any harm. The time when people perceive that it does is when people pervert a religion and twist it to accomplish their own personal goal or satisfy greed. Like GW Bush or some terrorists, etc.

Because religious fanatics kill people. Christians bomb abortion clinics and shoot doctors. Muslims fly planes into buildings. Christians in this country kick out REAL science to teach creationism which only succeeds in making our kids dumber compared to other advanced nations. Religious people suppress women and persecute homosexuals. They force under aged girls into polygamous marriages. The bible was used to condone slavery and then to condone segregation. I could go on forever.
I know you are going to say "all religious people don't do this, real christians follow christ blah blah" but that does not matter. And you know what, EVERY culture and civilization does good, and atheists certainly do just as much good as religious people, so don't use that as a justification for religion.
My guess is that you are extremely naive and undereducated. You probably don't want to hear this but it is true. Seek REAL knowledge, not what your church tells you, and you will be enlightened. Go to college. Read philosophy, history, comparative religion, government. Study biology and chemistry.
Religions may "teach" "good" things but it is definitely not worth the price of admission.

Differences and variations to each church which make people choose which one is better is making people judge each other and their religion, usually deciding that their own is better than the other ones which leads to fighting and wars. Its ironic that so many people would be so biased that they will actually kill other people for not believing in what they believe. This is not love and forgiveness like everyone says church is about. Not to mention the self judgment can damage someones self worth, I was mormon for 21 years I can say they are sexist (I can't speak fo all idk), and think they are better than all other religions, how is sacrilegious is that?

They talk a lot about compassion and charity but they teach judgment, the antithesis of both.

Because some radicals do crazy things in the name of God. However, it shows the falsity of their faith, for no god would order his people to harm others or themselves. It further fixes Christianity as the one true faith.

because there are religious people that dont tolerate other-thinkers. Once the quantity of these relgious people is big enough, they made the life of the other-thinkers very hard by putting their beliefs on them or worse 'get rid of them', in return the other-thinkers wont accept et voila the start of a fight.

False religion does.
it teaches TRADITION instead of Bible truth.
And because it has the truth in writing...the Bible...false religion is mentioned in Revelation as 'Babylon the Great.
(Revelation 18:4-5) And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.
Politics and big business are JUST mentioned.
As ' the kings of the earth' and 'the travelling merchants'.
(Revelation 18:9-11) “And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, 10 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’ 11 “Also, the traveling merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore,
