OK, well perhaps pick a diff word for 'what its actually done' then.I think that's central but maybe 'intrinsic' not right word

Overall harmfulness when harm measured in violence & oppression. Both have been willing to kill & dictate how ppl live & think

Yeah, I don't dispute this but these are caused by dogma in general too. I think we have to look at the deeper traits.

The scripture may be a wash unless we include hadith (which many don't) but the historical examples of prophets is significant.

You cld do some kind of analysis in which you compare bible & magisteria with Quran & ahadith to determine which more violent.

But I don't think it wld have much bearing on reality. Religion is an evolving lived thing & its qualities fluctuate.

What I'd consider central to consideration of intrinsic (or whatever) harmfulness of a religion is what's been done in its name

But that seems very inefficient since there were so many other causes not related to the doctrines.

Yes, but it depends if you want to know what a 'true' reading of doctrine wld tell you or how ppl lived their religion.
