It's a two way street, just like the Internet.
Does the internet corrupt people or do people corrupt the internet?
Religion is a great brainwashing tool to hide your ulterior motives behind. Corrupt people can use religion to corrupt further people.
I don't think people are not inherintly evil, they are inherintly greedy, selfish, lazy, are group animals and have a thirst for getting 'even' aka revenge. That can lead to evil behaviour. Those are all evolutionary traits.
