I've become against all religions as unnecessary and outdated. I understand using it to teach morals and fill in the holes where science is lacking, but nowadays it is being used more as a tool of hate and control. I've no use for it. I also have no use for my hate-filled, god-loving family members who hate many people based on groups that they belong too. I've nothing against you and I won't call you stupid for having faith, as it's a personal choice and a (relatively) free country.
