Please describe to me why you do or don't think that these three religions have done more harm to the modern human race than anything else devised by man.

These organizations have done more harm to the human race because their messages retard us. "Faith" is also a very dangerous thing and so are its followers. Wars have been fought over religions and due to their mutual exclusiveness they are fundamentally at odds with each other. The followers of theism are small people that want to feel special; above others. It's this line of thinking that makes them susceptible to gross manipulation by political and religious figures. They operate as if they have a first-hand account of events that took place thousands of years ago, never questioning their belief system.
We're a small, insignificant species... like ants. And once we realize that, we'll be on the right track.

first of all, Judaism is pretty accepting, seeing as how they've been the ones being hated for so long. I'll leave them out of this one.
As for the other two, they are not inherently evil. Christianity has just been too divided, and hateful towards other Christians, which only means they are even more acceptingly of people of other religions. The whole idea of there being a "true" church among all of those sects doesn't help either. But Jesus' message was one of love, and I agree with his teachings, just not his followers.
Islam's fault is that the Quran states that violence is justified in cases of self defense. You'd fight back if somebody tried to kill you, right? Of course you would. But the loose definition of self defense led to a bunch of empires using that as justification for war and terrorism. I find Islam a very peaceful religoin at heart, but one that I bet Muhammad wouldn't recognize today.
No religoin is inherently evil. It's just the fact that people are so devoted to their doctrine that they can easily be used as tools for evil.

Ah! Yet another who really believes that history is completely and totally controlled by one religion or another, and that there's NO other cause for war or violence.
(1) please provide at least two (2) examples of how Judaism has done "more harm to the modern human race" than anything devised by man. Please, include citations.
(2) please provide at least two (2) examples of how Christianity has done "more harm to the modern human race" than anything devised by man. Please, include citations.
(3) islam. No examples needed, thank you.
Judaism and Christianity both worship the one true God, with the exception that Christianity accepts and rejoices in the divine nature of Jesus, Son of God.
islam specifically rejects and denies the divine nature of Jesus. In so doing, it also rejects and denies God Himself.

MANs' disobedience to the love of God and his "me first" secular nature has done more harm to his fellow man than anything else man has devised. Man is man's problem.
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Religion alone is peace but religion comnined with politics is the source of hate and animosity in humanity.

Judaism is certainly NOT a religion of hate.
It is the only religion which believes ALL moral people merit heaven, regardless of their religious beliefs, affiliations, or lack thereof.

Homosexuals; their eastern counterparts: Daoism, Bhuddism, and Confucianism do not abhor or try to steal away the rights of homosexuals.
According to these faiths homosexuality is a sin. BUT that does not make it immoral.

None of the three reigions have to anything to the modern human race - the modern human race did it all by itself.

you need to read the history of some non-religious movements, like communism and eugenics. It's not the religions that are at fault - they are simply tools used by people.

"Hate" is a condition of the mind. One can choose to hate, or not, no matter what religion or philosophy they claim to be.
