The biggest issue have with religion is their fanatism. When you come to Science to understand your problem, Science tells you various theories and gives you the option of choice. With religion it’s not the same. An authoritative body drafts few rules it believes is in the best interest of people and then enforces it upon it’s followers. That’s what dictators do – take away the freedom of choice and enforce your will. I hate that.
Another is the existence of God. I think people make up the concept of God just for psychological reasons. But thats a weekness then.
Otherwise, even though I am an Atheist, I am not averse to picking up anything good from religion. Every system has some good elements – otherwise it wouldn’t have survived so long. One can always try to crete a better system by learning from the existing ones.
