What I DO hate is that many religions take away, many times subversively, what little freedom people don't even realize that they have and give the illusion of both freedom and emotional/spiritual power instead of the reality of it.
Of course, there are always the good points, but if you can't come by those without the religion... ?

Interesting points, and when you put it that way, we are in complete agreement.
