Religion or belief in a deity isn't so harmful, and can sometimes Either have some positive or negative effects on an individual or a society/culture. Since you are looking at some particularly negative effects of religion: I can't talk for every religion but I can speak very informatively about Christianity since I was one during my childhood and teenage years. Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB) If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB) If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT) They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB) But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
The Christian religion pretty much says to kill everybody. Some negative effects is that Christianity is that it is so embedded I to America's law that blacks, women, homosexuals, and practicers of other religions have to fight tooth-&-nail for their rights here (even though the Constitution States freedom of religion, but it only applies to Christianity apparently.) some positives are good morals and smiley people, but it is mostly negative because Christians are generally unaccepting people. However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) I hope I have answered your question.
