It certainly isn't fair, but I would like to add the following variation to yoor OP:
Religion has caused a lot damage through history, wars and crusades, which is why I don't like religion.
I hear that one thrown around much more, but anyone who generalizes a big portion of people by the deeds done by a very small minority are either douches, ignorant or both.
The least you can do is respect each other, and I admit fully, that I as an atheist, hear things about religion from time to time that either makes me want to laugh very hard or shake my head and think "What went wrong?", but I can still respect religious people.
