In the beginning God created man - later man decided to return the favor.
Religion was man made, so don't point fingers at god for man's attempt to manipulate other men using fear and faith as a means of control. It's been done for centuries. What is actually humorous is your argument is the same as Jesus had against the religious groups at the time he was around - yelling at them for similar reasons but adding oppression to women - worshiping of political leaders as gods and murdering of innocent lives for the religion of the time then abandoning those with leprosy by making them live in caves and segregated areas. He actually went in and healed them.
People saw leprosy victims the way we saw Aid's patients today. Jesus never shunned them - so again - blame man made religion and not god for all the crap today done in the name of God.
