Why I hate Religion

Why I hate Religion
(First off this rant is not aimed at anybody, and secondly this is not about a God/dess or God/desses is about their followers in general)

I had to get this off my chest, it's been brewing for a while.
The reasons why I hate religion are:
1. Religious arrogance:



2. Religious stubbornness:



3. Religious intolerance:



4. Religious indoctrination:



5. Religious claims:



6. Religious greed: This section is more about the leaders than the followers or doctrines or the more humble preachers (or equivalent) who pay that money back into the community.


Last but not least
7. Religious stupidity: This really rattles me.



ok rant over, I hide the sections so you did not get a wall of text as I is quite a long rant. Like I said before this is not about a deity (something for a whole other rant) this is about religions in general and some of these may or may not apply to all of them. This is my view/critic on religion as a whole and on the human side and this is nothing personal so only some may or not apply to you but don't worry it's not a personal attack (I thought I would say that again before somebody take it the wrong way). And if you feel insulted then consider this as emotional barren training, for when you have to face something like this in the future. And again please don't take it personally, This is me vent my frustration with this world.

Also before Either side starts, this in not based on any facts or educational value, this is me venting and I have done 0 research for this. so don't call me on any facts however if you do want to add some education value feel free, just don't have a go at me for venting.

If you hate religion, and evolution played a role in producing religion, do you also hate evolution?

You can't be serious. Using your logic I must hate my aunt, whom I adore, because I despise my cousin.

It's logic used by some atheists here. I wanted to see the reaction if I used it.

How can I hate a process that occur naturally? Besides I am having a go at religions how they are not how they started, I believe religions started off with good intentions that have evolved into the corrupt, money driven, backwards religions today. For the most past as not all religions and sect of religion are the same so I am not talking about a particular one, I am talking about them in general, obviously some are better than others but some of them are really not doing the rest of the religions any favors at all.

Cancer is not a process, it's a part of the natural process of evolution were is causing a bad mutation and it goes haywire, infecting everything around it.
Its like saying you hate a loan company because you did not qualify for a loan, under that loan application process.
