I don't hate them for the most part. I honestly could not give a single shit what other people believe...
Until..
They step into the voting booth and make a concerted effort to vote in "public servants" who will enact policies that impact all people based on their beliefs. That is when I have a strong distaste for my fellow religious humans. A good example of "Christian" policy is the environment. They are so confident that their god is in complete and utter control that there is nothing that we humans can do to impact the environment in any meaningful way. Therefor, we have no need for environmental regulations. Pollute and populate away.
Abortion.. Science.. Acceptance of all races, beliefs (or non beliefs), sexual equality, right to die, etc.. These are all things that are impacted by laws due to religious persons wanting to force their worldview on everyone.
