Most decisions are not dictated by religion, It doesn't take religion to tell someone that murder and stealing is wrong. If you have a conscience and you are in the right frame of mind no one needs to tell you that.
For the ultra-religious, most of their decisions are dictated by their religion. This is applicable to a small part of the 2 billion Christians living in this world, and to the vast majority of the 1.5 billion Muslims who are spread out across the globe.
The thing is that even though you are from the same religion, there are different understandings for different people about the teachings in their religion. If you consider christianity as poison, then it would be right to believe that religion itself is poison as most wars were fought in the name of religion
Everything can be believed, but only without fanaticism. In every religion there is something good. And you can control the masses without the help of religion.
