Religion is no different to politics if you expect it to change. You can waste a lot of time and energy wondering how it can be better or worse. It’s there, it is what it is. To get around it you have to put it down and not carry it with you wherever you go.

Sounds like you want to be a victim. You can’t change them so if you are serious change your attitude to whatever it is you abhor.

"Good! Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you."

Hate is not a word I would use, "PITY" is how I feel for the Sheep ,flock or any god botherer that crosses my path. Happily I don't know many Christians, most people I know would simply roll their eyes at the mention of such nonsense ...

I actively hate religion. I'd like to let go of the hate too, but it would require me to ignore or not care about what I see it doing to people. I can't ignore it lying to and stealing from poor people and encouraging those same said poor people to elect horrible evil rich people into positions of power to further lie to and steal from a broader vulnerable base of poor people. It's disgusting. To me, looking at religion and not hating it would be like looking at vomit and not feeling revulsion and gagging.

I strongly oppose religion. I hate what it does in the world. I don't hate people for being religious. I strongly condemn religious hypocrites and phonies who exploit and use religion for financial or political gain. I focus on exposing religion for the delusion that it is, and believe religion should be criticised, condemned, exposed, and actively fought against in all constructive ways, and never give in to religious trickery or emotional blackmail, at which they excel. That what I focus on.

Okay, this is a little different.

I fucken hate the occults. All of them. The Christian's, Jews, Muslims, Hindes...

Girl, as you age your gonna get ugly, fight a biological clock and die. Along the way, you can watch it happen to the people you love.

As they suffer watch them pray and beg to a non existent god.

Always keep in mind if the occults hadn't brainwashed society, it is likely we would have cured the human condition by now. If people didn't believe in heaven, they would fight death.

Occults are causing you to suffer in a much greater way than most atheist pussys will give them credit for.

Now use your inner Darwin. Go all Darth Maul on their shit.

Don't be the normal pussy atheist, who just accepts them for being idiots. Don't accept it. Feel and nurture that hate in you.

Get pissed. Get fucken angry.

Now, go fight a good fight.

Start a subtle conversion of their flock.

Weapons come in all forms, but knowledge masked with a smile is likely the most effective.

Go save a life.

Challenge their beliefs in heaven and you fortify a fight against mother nature.

Religion is, hate, fear and war. In some ways I support church burnings. I was hanging out with some guys I met at a slayer concert. Told them to burn a church we drove by. I was joking mostly. They got gas, and I talked them out of it. Yes, i fucking hate religion. Most brainwashing bullshit ever.

I don't hate it, however, this bothers me when after I have told them my standing and they persist to try to force me to listen to their inane rhetoric this is when I go on the offensive.

Speaking personally, hating something implies expending negative energy toward something and religion doesn't merit the expense. If I invest a lot of myself in something, I can easily get rattled if it's attacked. With religion, there is no investment, so any discussion on my part is from a position of calm comfort, which I find can be much more aggrivating for the opposition.

I don't "hate" religion. I just try to understand where it comes from.

How so do you diminish your beliefs?

Since the evangelicals took over politics, and since they all pretend the orange blob in the white house is the second coming, I have nothing but disgust with religion.

I’ve never been religious so I don’t have any hate for it or much of anything really.

I don't hate religion

I do hate though how people use their religion against others

There is no struggle. I HATE RELIGIONS! Religions are organizations, dangerous organizations. I know believers who don't like religions. Religions and faith are not always mutually inclusive.

I didn't in the past but what is going on right now how can anyone with a sober mind anything but hate religion. We are not just atheists but anti-theists.

I guess I can't relate much to how you feel about religion. I am really pretty apathetic to the religion of other people and rarely give it that much thought these days. I also don't really care about how others feel about my non-belief and now that I am retired I don't do shit as far as making others feel better about my non-belief. Like the song in the movie Office Space, "Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta...".

No. I'm not usually in a situation where the people around me are so entrenched in religion where they can't stop talking about it. Even if it's in passing I just overlook it, and it passes, then it's on to the next conversation. Everyone and their situation are different though.

The LDSers destroyed my 31 year marriage.

Let the anger go it’s poison

I don’t hate religion....I try not to hate anything, hate is more destructive to self than to the object of our hate. In any case religion is an abstract, it’s a belief not an actuality. What I do dislike intensely is the damage that religious belief causes to the rationality and minds of otherwise sane and intelligent people, and when these people try to influence government policy with their religious dogma. On a personal level, I tolerate others’ views, especially those of friends who believe, but without disguising or watering down my own. I only confront others if they try to proselytise or tell me I’m wrong by not believing what they do, but that happens only rarely, and never amongst my friends or family,

I do my best not to hate anything and I direct my mind away from "hate" if I find that I can dwell there. Do not give these things opportunity to thrive. Your thoughts are you. They become you.

The only hate is of their hypocrisy and racism those who don't do this I don't hate

Don't hate Religion just have a sense of humor about it.

It's normal to hate those oppressing us
