I don't think religion makes people bad. I think it just highlights and reinforces the less than savoury aspects of human nature that lie inside all of us, and I think religious people are far less inclined to challenge their double standards, because they have so much at stake. This does happen with atheists too, but not on such a large, fundamental and widely endorsed scale, I would argue.
