A lot of the posts here are just pointing out how illogical religion is, which I don't mind. I'm religious myself, but I'm well aware how ridiculous it is. What does bother me is the arguments against Christianity that are used as arguments against all religions. Most of you were likely raised christian, so I understand why you focus on it, but most religions don't have all of the problems Christianity does. I think a lot of the posts here would fit better in an ex-christian community.

I think you need to separate belief from religion. Personal belief is all fine. Everyone has the right to their opinions and freedom to practice them as long as it does not harm a third party. What is difficult is when you bring in religion, which is built on some consensus about belief and the problems that arise from that.

The posts here aren't always just against organized religion. Plenty are against all beliefs not backed by science. A lot of them are specifically against Christianity. If this community was a critique of organized religion as a whole, then I wouldn't care. I just want things to be called what they are.
