Does anyone else feel disgusted by religious words?

When tied to a thought or action then it depends on the thought or action. Even then, disgusted is not usually the emotion I feel.

If I think about it, the context in which the words are used is important to me too. It's one thing when they're used to promote religion (it depends on how religion is promoted too, if it's moderate or fundamental), other when they're used against religion and other when neutral.
I guess the reason why I don't like the words is because I've heard them used so many times to promote things that make me feel disgusted.
