Then again, since when did religion's redeeming qualities overshadow its many milennia of murder, torture, war, and hate?

Using that logic, atheists have a long history of murder and killing as well and it's safe to say nothing they have done outweighs the good. See Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin, etc. You could paint liberals with the same brush (eco terrorism, pro drug, anti-crime punishment, and a general lack of values). It would be ignorant, but I could do it just as you did. Christians have far outweighed the good versus the bad in modern society (Boy Scouts, Red Cross, YMCA, Catholic Charities, etc etc) are just a few organizations that have done far more good than any atheist based organization has done.

Atheism isn't organized. Religion, on the other hand, by definition, is.
Hm, liberals have no values... you sound like a typical conservative American.
Yeah, having a Christian youth organization like Boy Scouts which indoctrinates them in dogma and God-worshipping obviously outweighed centuries of murder, terror, and war imposed by Christian sects.
