Many reasons but not because they're rational thinking imo. And I've been there and done that.

I appreciate your opinion but it doesn't mean it applies to everyone who is opposed to organized religion.

Strong negative emotional feelings toward religion, like anything else, aren't produced by rational thinking.


I don't agree. Rational thinking can lead to strong negative emotions.

----------------------------------------------

nor am I critical of the human failings of the religious.

But you are - "Its not just that many of the leaders of religion are hypocritical but their participants are as well."

I am stating a fact. That's not being critical....its exposing the truth.

Oh you are merely exposing the "truth" that religious people deserve your hostile contempt. Every bigot thinks their bigotry is justified.


No, I am exposing the fact that religious people are not the saints they pretend to be.
