Summary: Every major religion has, at some point, abused their position of power and justified atrocities by pointing to documented proof of their divine right to do so. It is independent of the actual content/intent of said documented proof. It is common to all religion because it's common to all people. Religion didn't invent it, religion just makes it easier to justify to the masses.
