I am glad you said unique, not convincing.
All religions are unique, but fundamentalist religions share certain attributes. The absolute certainty in their own moral and spiritual authority. Rejection of information that contradicts their worldview without considering the evidence. That kind of thing is often in common even if not a univerally held set of views.
I agree that religions have their problems. Christianity is not a religion. Catholicism, Lutheranism, et-al are religions. It is not The Truth that is the problem, it is how us flawed humans attempt to apply it where the problems crop up.
Then again, if we were able to apply the tenets of Christianity perfectly, we would have no need for it's foundation, the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ as perfect atonement for our many sins. The promise contained there is infinitely more valuable than all the gold, knowledge or wisdom within the capabilities of all the human race.
Imagine, if you will, that that last sentence is really true. Let it sink in for a while...
If you believed it (and all that it implies) with all your heart, how would you respond to this Evolution/ID debate? Do you see how it could dilute the Christian message? Do you see how it could create Hitlers?
Many bad things have been done over the centuries in the name of Jesus. We will be held accountable, no doubt, but an eternity with Him still awaits us. And many of the "bad" things done will turn out to have not been bad at all, and conversely, many of the "good" things will, when exposed to the light of His perfect will, show themselves as the evil they were.
It is actually in the Human Instruction Manual, AKA The Bible. Of course, a lot of people are prone to go forward without reading the instructions...
