Does religion hold the truth? Or the people enforcing it?

Some of you may be aware from my past posts, that I'm questioning a lot of things about God and religion. It is my belief most priests, ministrels, cardinals, bishops and whatever else they call themselves are greedy people that only care about profits and very little about the truth, or about God's laws wich they enforce upon us. They ask us to be kind and meak, especially kind in our offerings, while they are cloacked with wealth and sometimes evilness, as if they are not worshipping the same God, and as if the same rules we learn to fear, will never apply to them. Surely everyone has seen how these days they only ask for donations to build yet another huge church, but they can't and won't spare at least some bread or some dirty blankets when disasters strike their believers and followers. History also proves they have done a lot of shady and bloody deeds, all in the name of God, including Holy Wars and sacrifices. They crucified people before Jesus came, they continued to do so afterwards. Not to mention they burned people alive as witches later on, for claiming the earth was round or that is moving around the sun, because no such "truth" was said in their old dusty books. They have done most things for huge profits, and they got rid by any means of those who questioned their rightfulness, usually by killing them one way or another, and speaking of killing in the past they killed some rich folks just to take over their wealth. For years if not centuries was rumoured, that the Pope, as well as other religious leaders of different beliefs influenced many politics of many countries, and are actually still doing it. And hence I named the Pope here, I'd like to add some more wich I find weired. Christianity is the biggest religion all over the world, but has many trends and The Pope is chosen as head over 2 big trends, The Roman Catholic and The Ortodox, wich can't possibly both hold the truth. Not to mention there are countless smaller Christian trends, such as Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and so on, and of course not all are recognized by Pope. But they all have one thing in common, each claims to hold the truth and rightfulness, and they are so different in their worships/service that you could easily think are different religions. Not to mention there are those, who'll say "God help" before going to steal stuff or do other wrongs, or even worse "God forgive me" before and after doing harm to others, and any other shady deeds...
