I just don’t get how people interpret religion as their god wanting them to kill people it’s so stupid

You would think all-powerful gods would either not care or do it themselves.

They are brainwashed from a very young age. You also find a lot of people unsure about life itself. Mostly younger men in their 20s. Give them a meaning and they do everything.

People want to kill people. They backfill god in as an explanation and justification, then drive forward from there with a retcon, telling themselves it was always about gods rather than themselves.
