Just this morning, I heard a quotable comment on the radio. "There is much more harm done in this world under the name of a god than there is under the name of the devil." Worth thinking about? By the time you throw in politics, it's a wonder any of us are still here!
Or am I being cynical?

Hey Synchro - Yes, worth thinking about, but If you go back before the turn of the last century (1900), you may be right about a lot of people being killed in the name of God, Allah, etc., But, since the turn of the last century more people have been killed in the name of political movements (communism, mainly, but the Nazis, too - the Gulags, Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, Holocaust), not in the name of religion. That is, in the modern era, since 1900, the religious-inspired killings are relatively small compared to the political. But, I take your point about loss of human life due to natural calamities vs. man-caused ones.
