I'll start off with the youngest of the Big 3, the muslim faith.
Al-hajar Al-aswad, ie The Black Stone of Mecca.

Why do these people worship a meteorite?  |
Because they live too far from Graceland, which worships a drug addict who died on a toilet.
Your premise is valid yet limited. By "Big 3," I think your case could be even better shown by the true Big 3 in terms of known adherents. Numerous tales of theocratic abuses prove the general rule that overt religion is a harm to any nation. It sure has been for the muslim countries.
