Religion is bad*. I've no problem with anyone slating religion. In fact I'd happily join you. A cause of destruction is always bad though IMO.
I've been an atheist, twice. I've hated Christians with a vengeance. As peaceful as I am, I imagined getting physical with a knife sometimes. It isn't good. Like Kyu says, education is the way. By all means correct what you need to but don't dismiss without good reason. Christians tolerate all other beliefs. What does it look like with you saying you won't tolerate them?
To me it smacks of fundamentalism at it's worst. Even with rational and reasoned backing, you're acting out what your cause detests.
*Like the story of the Prodigal Son. The Son that stays at home is the Religious one. He's so pious and proud that he keeps the rules yet he's as bad as the son who left home to have sex with as many women as he could spending all his inheritance on it.
The third way is when the wayward son recognises his real need and asks for his dad's forgiveness. This is faith as opposed the 'religion'. The 'good' brother was religious.
