Is this statement based on what God has said, or how you and others have applied it?

Christ said: "I came not to condemn the world but to save it....I am the Way, the Truth and the Light....no one comes to the Father except by Me."

Not my words, His. If you have an issue with it, take it up with Him.

I think that neither is true. Rather, some "adherents" to both religions throughout history have used their own perverse form of their teachings to justify horror.

That says very little about religion, and a great deal about human nature.

I would assume you mean Christianity, and that you're thinking of high-church types. (e.g. Catholic, Anglican) - which aren't what comprises the True church necessarily. There are those in those types of churches which *are* of the real church, but as in any legal church body, there are those that don't really believe. You have to look beyond the formal church structure to find real Christianity.
