Why is religion so repugnant to some people

RE: Why is religion so repugnant to some people
Hm, well...

1. The hypocrisy. Religious people have a remarkable tendency to dismiss and mock any and all mythologies...except their's. Their's is very real. Take their's seriously, please NOW. They'll also pick and choose which parts they want to follow, so they'll make things tough for people who break one of their rules while simultaneously breaking some other rule themselves.

2. The greatly obnoxious concept of thinking you have the answer to everything when in fact you have no idea what you're talking about.

3. How much of an utter waste it is. The Pope quite literally sits on the answer to food problems for a few million people and thinks nothing of it. How much money has been wasted on building churches seemingly everywhere?

4. It makes people make horrible decisions. Oh, our kid's sick in a fatal but totally treatable way? Eh, the hospital's like ten minutes away, let's just pray.

5. The general idea that a large majority of the adults on this planet believe in fairy tales is an incredibly pathetic concept.

6. Their complete and total inability to keep it to themselves. Symbols of their religion must be everywhere, they must pray at public functions, they must go door to door bothering you.

7. The also greatly obnoxious concept of worshiping and praising a book you have not read, and then using that book to prop up positions it clearly does not support.

8. The demand for respect. They have done nothing to earn respect, in fact they have done a ton of things to lose it, but not only do they still insist they be given it, they want a higher level of respect than most other things are given. If I decided I didn't want to serve blonde people who came into a store where I worked, would anyone sympathize with me, let alone make laws to protect my right to do so?

Ya know, just to name a few things I can think of right now.
