I’m a Muslim, from a Muslim family. This is what I bothers me about most religions, including the Abrahamic triplet (Judaism-Christianity-Islam):
1) Organized religion seems always to be run by blockheads, devoid of any capability for logical thinking and unyielding to any argument to “change their tradition”. i.e. they are against innovation and progress. “why? well just so!”
In this context, organized religion seems always to clash with science and advancements of the human race. New discoveries that clash with teir scriptures and tradition are seen not as attacks on their own tradition but upon the very existence of god (who btw is so weak that he needs constant protection).
2) The “Heaven is ours” principle by which most religious people live. i.e. “Because we belong to this religious group and because we believe in this dogma, heaven has been promised to us. Nobody else is allowed in”. They act as if they fucking own the place and behave like real-estate agents through which you can buy some heavenly land.
3) The idea of a petty god. AFAIK Abrahamic religions, either through scripture or tradition, seem to emphasize a petty god, who is a jealous, vindictive and whiny little bitch. Oh, be careful or the force that created the multiverse, everything that you know, don’t know yet and will never know; who put logic and challenge in his entire creation so that we may marvel about it by using our brains; who has given us life and sustenance when we were not will burn us in hell, eternally, for eating pork or believing in a slightly different version of its creation story. i.e. god = übertroll?
But fear not! God is a retard who can be easily fooled, because his followers can come up with “loop-holes” to circumvent his laws (e.g. the “one night marriages” in Saudi Arabia, whereby a man is not commiting adultery because he legally married a woman (prostitue) for a night… WHAT A JOKE!). This way resourceful believers can enjoy both this world and the next!
Dear people of /r/atheism. I believe in god, but I do not believe in religion. That is why I feel much closer to (reasonable) atheists than to (unreasonable) religious people. Don’t worry… the god that I believe in will also happily give atheists a nice house in heaven… and it will certainly not smite anybody for not capitalizing its “name”.
