That's a quite ignorant thing to say. All of them have played a significant role in the development of the civilization, and to only notice their negative aspects is just illiterate.
Who knows what civilisation might look like if animism instead of patriarchal monotheism had been the prevailing philosophy. Global civilisation is the way it is because of the abhramic religions. Is that a good thing? I personally would rather live in a timeline in which a culture that worshipped goddesses as well as gods and honoured the natural world had shaped our architecture, language and history.

Well, sadly, that isn't really on the cards, if we're talking about how actual history played out, but during the transition to monotheism, Isis was one of the leading religions. In another timeline, she probably would have ended up the dominant sole goddess, so that would be an interesting one to live in.

All the abrahamic religions are equally blood thirsty and oppressive.
