The fundamental problem, is that almost all religions tend to express the view that only they have got it right, and logically therefor everyone else must convert to the one and only true faith. After that comes the politics and power structures, followed by exploitation and often subjugation.

There are some exceptions, but they tend to be either not really a religion (or at least not theistic), or are not organized.
