At least you said less cruel, too many think animals are flatly not cruel. The only reason those species are less cruel is less complex thought and simple social bonds.
I see their social bonds as quite complex, kin selection and altruism, but I understand what you mean and agree.

I have a question:
Do you think that religion and the people that made it are really THAT bad and intentional?
That depends on the religion.
If we are talking of Christianity then yes, they are that bad.
How bad depends on your mind set. How bad was the Dark Ages? How bad was the Inquisition? How bad were the Crusades?
How bad is a religion that lies to it’s own?

I think ego and power warped good intentions.
