I had two uncles neither believed in God, they didn't go to church. They were good family men and good providers. They didn't hate religion they just didn't want to hear it.
I don't hate religion. Religion can be very good for some people; however, it can also be used to hurt people.
Humans are inclined to put each other in groups of us and them. When we view another group as 'the other', it becomes easier to dehumanize them and to then mistreat them. I think that this is a tendency that all humans probably have to fight against but religion makes it easier to put people into groups.
My family would probably describe me in a similar way to your uncles. Away from this forum, I rarely argue. I have had friends express disbelief that I ever get angry(I do, just not often). I come to this forum to debate and discuss with people who I assume are tough enough to take heated interactions.
More or less i have a issue with people who exploit it. More and more people that do things to kids hide in religion like the catholic church. People who do things to kids use god and the bible and religion as a blanket to cover shit up and well it worked and i mean it worked because the catholic church got dragged into the light because fucking pastors were molesting kids. More or less religion needs to be an adult thing because of whats happening.
