~~~It is then misunderstood and perverted by the masses who (inadvertently?) use it as a tool to retard our spiritual growth as a species.

Not so much misunderstood, but perverted and distorted. The constrictions of religion prevent movement towards enlightenment because they discourage self discovery.
And yes, it is a powerful tool- to control people.

~ There are teachings found in the Bible and the Koran and the Torah that ARE a big part of the problem. Teachings that have been used to justify horrendous acts of inhumanity.

How many of the teachings recorded in these books are genuine? How many were added in by ghost authors to appease the rulers/head of church of the day?
IMO, its how messages of love can sit side by side with hateful directives, in these books.

Chico, with respect, you are guilty of the very thing you accuse Twan of- not having an open mind.

~~I know that I am biased on this but I believe that if they did, they'd find that Jesus is the answer.

You are ready to defend the authenticity of the Gospels, because you are so sure they are correct.
Check out this site on Bible inconsistencies. Its an eye opener.....

Like this little gem-

GE 17:1, 35:11, 1CH 29:11-12, LK 1:37 God is omnipotent. Nothing is impossible with (or for) God.

JG 1:19 Although God was with Judah, together they could not defeat the plainsmen because the latter had iron chariots.

bugger!! iron chariots, huh?
