I think yes religion can ruin peoples lives. I saw a programme called 'Jesus Camp' and it horrified me. It was a place in America where they have groups of children as young as six yrs old, and they preach at them telling them how evil the world is. The youngsters jump up and down, cry and scream out Jesus' name. Now I'm all for teaching children being taught about various religions but calling them God's soldiers and telling them to wage war on the rest of society is completely wrong. Let them make up their own minds when they are old enough. It may be extreme to say it but this camp is bordering on child abuse, the damage that these adults are doing to these kids will be irreversible. The camp has been discontinued! (Thank God!)
