Zagreus,
That is exactly my point, that religion is used for personal greed and other personal gains. Religion has been an excuse for countless generations of evil-doing. I am not against the few religious individuals who are good people but they should be able to do good without religion anyway. If you need religion to do good then that is insincere.
To sum it up, I am not against theists in general (minus the fundies of course) but I am against the concept of religion. Personally, I feel the world would do far better without it.
