What's your biggest beef with religion?

What's your biggest beef with religion?
I'm sure most of us have multiple "beefs." But this thread isn't about those. Just about your biggest one. Theists encouraged to participate.

Mine: It's anti-intellectual. -- It discourages and disparages intellectual curiosity.

I dislike the ways that some religious people interpret their holy books to support what are mostly morals, beliefs and prejudices acquired earlier in life, and then use their Book - "I am right - it says so in Chapter 31, Verse 72" to justify these presumptions.

First: Everybody automatically assumes I'm a christian and thinks it's OK to say stupid christian shit to me.

Second: The shitty reaction I get when I politely tell them I'm an atheist and to please stop.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

It's a tool of a power cliche for manipulation of the sheeple.

I'm concerned by the lack of humility on the part of some religious practitioners to admit that they do not have all of the answers.  IMO, it seems that the religious practitioners whom I have engaged with are more interested in finding ways to confirm their existing beliefs rather than being open to the possibility that they may be mistaken and adjusting their beliefs as humans learn more about the reality they occupy.

The predictably miserable way god belief acts on our minds, and how our minds act on god belief.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The way it allows people an unjustified sense of moral superiority.

How regressive it is. Iron age morality stemming from a non-present authority figure shouldn't have a place in the 21st century.

My biggest beef by far is hypocrisy. We're all hypocritical occasionally - including me - but the religious take it to dizzying heights.
