The point is not how much has it done, but how much it would have done if it had the power. If Iran and the US had swapped places there would have been far more death and destruction across the world, all in the name of religious supremacy.
I can't say I like what the US is doing with drone strikes and repeated, unwinnable wars, but don't think for a minute that Iran would be a beneficient world hegemon. The world would be an awful place to live.

The fact is that non-religious States have murdered far more civilians in the past 100 years than any religion has. That's not a defense of religion. It's a simple statement of historical fact.
