Why is religion so repugnant to some people

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.

Don't know about an actual God, but the character a lot of people describe and name 'God' seems to be a hopped-up Oriental potentate as capricious and cruel as an angry Djinn.

I don't think 'hate' describes how I feel about that character, it's more like how I feel towards Sauron or Voldemort or the Sith Emperor. They're evil, but they're not real...but if someone says Sauron is real and a good role model, I get a little worried. If serious, I might point out that not only is Sauron not real, he's evil.

If your version of God isn't of that type, there might be nothing wrong with it except that it's probably not real.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
