I wouldn't necessarily call myself a religious racist . . .
But almost every atrocity in the history of the world has been committed in teh name of one god or the other. Sensless violence, discrimination, and genocide, all because somebody convinced a bunch of other people that it's the best way to get to heaven.
Organized religion brings in billions of dollars a years.
They pay ZERO taxes.
They are one of the strongest contributors to political campaign funds in the United States a country whose laws are based ona separation of church and state.
If you as an individual want to be a christain, muslim, hindu, buddhist, hebrew, stanist, scientologist, wiccan, or Spongebob worshipper, I have absolutely no problem with you. If you and other like minded indivdiduals want to get together and talk about how great spongebob is, I have no problem with that.
Organized religion raising and spending money on public policy and/or terrorism?
I have big problems with that.
