The thing with religion, and in particular, Christianity, is that there are good and bad things about it. It provides a lot of help for a lot of people, and is something to believe in when people are lost. But I don't agree with Dion when he says that it is harmless and therefor should not be critisized, and people should have a live and let live approach to those who follow it.

Here's the kicker for me. That religion teaches people that homosexuality is wrong and it's followers support legistlation that treats gays and lesbians as second class citizens, which is a brutal example of christians affecting people outside of their religion in a serious way.

...and because of that alone, christianity promotes 1st and 2nd class citizens (because they don't believe homosexuality is actually a real thing you're born with) and therefore, imo, promotes hate. Until that changes, religion can go screw itself as far as I'm concerned.
