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.
Because religion is not harmless. Furthermore it never puts on any appearance of being beneficial without this appearance being designed specifically to immediately further the cause of doing some much greater harm. If you don't hate religion, then either you don't care, or you are oblivious.
That is right religion is not harmless. Humans base their morality on religion and in turn affect politics and even control entire countries and have weapons. You cannot get rid of it, but to pretend it is harmless is dangerous. Religion must be treated as the weapon it is.
