It's not all religions. It's the ones with the strongest need to believe in something supernatural because they have so little faith in themselves. It's primarily the Abrahamic religions: The monotheistic, patriarchal sects that keep oozing out of the Middle East.
Their basic model of the human spirit -- one-dimensional, everything can only be good or bad or somewhere in between, no other factors -- is so lame, so constricting, so counterintuitive, that people who get conned into trying to live by it end up suppressing huge portions of their own spirit. But they can't suppress stuff forever, and after festering in the dark for years or decades or even generations, iit blows its way out. When a bunch of Abrahamists get into synchronization and their dark sides take control of them all at once, you get what we've gotten for the past two thousand years, since Abrahamism began to dominate the earth.
The polytheistic faiths allow their followers more space. If your particular life doesn't happen to conform to the model of Apollo, then perhaps you can let Hermes be your guide, or Diana.
The early polytheistic civilizations certainly didn't set any records for tolerance and kindness, but they had one advantage that the Abrahamists seemingly cannot grasp, which is the ability to see themselves in each other. The Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, etc., all realized upon even the briefest acquaintance that their gods were the same ones, only with different names. Not a great leap of insight when the gods are all stylized, exaggerated facets of your own personality. It's really ironic that all of the Abrahamists actually claim to worship the same "one god" and even share some of the same holy books, but they always find a reason to hate each other over their interpretation of those books. The polytheists rarely fought over religion, it was always just power. They never threatened to destroy the whole planet the way the Christians and Muslims have for the past 1,300 years. (Not to give the Jews a bye. Considering how disgustingly the Orthodox and Reform Jews, or the Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews, treat each other in Israel, I'm sure that if Jewry ever gained enough population to become a world power they'd be just as bad-ass as their spinoffs.)
But the "religions" that do the best for their own people and for the rest of us are the ones that simply have the least emphasis on the supernatural at all, the ones that encourage faith in ourselves as individuals and as a community. The Dao, Confucianism, and most of all Buddhism in its least superstitious forms. (The reincarnation hokum and the divinity of Buddha is by no means universally shared by all Buddhists.)
So it's really only one religion that threatens to bring about "the end of civilization": Abrahamism. The Catholics and Protestants; the Sunni and Shia and Sufi and Wahhabi and Hashemite; the Reformed and Conservative and Orthodox; and at a larger level the Christians, Jews, and Muslims collectively; they all identify subtle differences among themselves that justifies their hatred -- a hatred so powerful that they don't give a second thought to collateral damage in their spiteful campaigns to wipe each other out. But from the our less superstitiously influenced perspective as outsiders, they're all the same. Patriarchal and monotheistic. There's only one god and it's got a penis.
Whoopee. What a rich (not to mention fair) belief system to base a culture on.
