The cons far outweigh the pros imo. So much bad stuff has happened and continues to happen in the name of religion it would make anyone’s head spin. None of this violence would be occurring in Israel/Palestine without it, for example.
I wouldn’t hate it so much if it wasn’t so frequently used to hurt and control people. I’d actually kind of respect it. But it’s even used by parents to guilt or scare their kids into this or that.
Because it brainwashes people into believing fiction and holding that to a higher importance than reality. E.g. single issue voters voting for insane candidates because they are against abortion or gay marriage.
Why hate the religion?

Doubt. If religion didn’t exist, we would just find new reasons not to like people.
I’d gladly test it out… but is that land special for any other reason?
Maybe, but religion organizes those reasons and uses those organized to push their agenda, sometimes with violence.
You mean apart from the violence, oppression and misogyny?
