"How do you tell the difference between "men acting in the the name of a religion" and the "religion"s that you claim haven't lead to massive war?"
More trick questions, right?
You've said it yourself - the men are acting in the name of the religion. It's not the religion that's causing deaths.
By contrast, democracy (taking the place of "religion" conceptually here) is not killing people. But there is a man acting in the name of democracy that is. This is entirely that man's fault. Democracy didn't make him to do it.
