Because "Teh cage Animal" humans are flawed, one of our flaws are the flaw to be manipulated! You see that is what religion is, it tries to show itself by being the random miracles that happen around you all the time yet its merely a "feeling". Its the same about violence in religion, once you have them you merely twist the little things around to make it sound believable then you use them as pawns. Its just like the crusades christians, no god worshipers thought doing wrong was right yet did god want it? Was god the one who said "kill all these people" NO it was humans! Yes everything about humans shows flaw, you see now? Humans are to blame for the selfish action of violence, we start and end bloodshed oh how we are weak.
Hope is also what drives people to do many stupid and aggressive actions. Once someone receives hope from being in the dark for so long they accept anything if not a deity! Once they gain more hope it becomes a belief once they believe they get twisted in with everything else that religion has to offer and becomes a tool to the exact religion it has hope and belief in. Oh how amazing another human flaw. Why do you think some people sacrifice for their religion? Because their so engrossed in it that they are blinded by what is right and wrong (in human sense). So now I ask you if not all you what truly is religion?
