I'm so tired of this sophistry... oh, it's got nothing to do with religion? But lemme guess, I can find out more by going to the bible, and accepting Jesus as my savior, and so on?

Relabelling something to avoid negative connotations is dishonest, dude. Dodgy

I hate the damage Christianity has had on the human psyche for two thousand years but the religion itself is too asinine for me to personally invest any strong emotions into it one way or another. That said, there are some great ideas contained in the New Testament if one can look past all the silliness and xenophobia.

Also, Islam...Ew. I'd pick the Bible (which as a whole, is pretty fascinating) over the Qur'an any day.

One of the biggest anti-theists in my country said himself the bible has lots of literary value and should be studied in classes to understand one's culture and history. Nothing wrong with that.

I think you'll find it's the 'redneck', 'evangelical fundamentalist', and 'conservative Catholic' subsets of Christianity that are particularly annoying. I never met a Quaker I didn't like. The UCC is alright by me. Episcopelians don't give me much grief. Unfortunately, most of us live in a country heavy on the first three.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Don't I have the right to feel the same why about their religious posts?

I tend to get irritated by by overly religious or conservative posts on FB, so I have a tendency to set those people to acquaintance mode pretty quickly. I also don't post much about religion or politics on FB because it's such a horrible format for it.

I agree that I am most familiar with Christianity (having been Christian most of my life), so it will always hold a special place in my heart when complaining about religion. I also dislike a lot of what I see in Islam, although I agree that religion in general is dumb; I'm just more familiar with those two religions.
