Any group can have power+corruption+lies. Putting all that on religion alone is a bit much, and more than a bit generalizing. Religion isn't supposed to be about power, but about revelation, enlightenment, and in most cases- doing God's will (apart from those religions who have no God), unfortunately, there are those who will exploit others- even those who follow religion.
Don't get me wrong,i do not see God and religion meaning the same thing,organised religion is Manmade which we have seen throughout history have or have had power corruption and lies.
