Stupidity. It always comes with any religious territory. Religion needs stupid people in order to survive, which is why it actively promotes ignorance and false models of reality. Maybe if religions and/or gods stopped choosing the most demented of morons as their spokesmen - people would have fewer problems with the whole thing. Of course - that's not going to happen, because smart people know, that religions are bullsh*t and that there is no reason to believe in any gods.

This is a bit extreme. There are so many intelligent people who are theists...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
