the things that human beings ~~have done~~ do in the names of their religions. They are not admirable, they ~~have often been~~ are often utterly despicable

Fixed that for you. To be fair, plenty of despicable things have been done in the name of science, too. Think lab animals, and human experimentation torture. There are other, better arguments for abandoning religion.
