Why the hatred against religion?
95 Answers
Please, please, please I don't want to hear the usual ranty arguments against the existence of God or afterlife, I just want to know why the hatred against religious belief. Nobody today is forced to go to church and the Church no longer sets the standards or forms the opinions of our society, so what's the problem? Why the anti-religious posters on the sides of buses? Why does this ant-religious sentiment continue at all?

His sentiments included in a couple of private letters written 6 years ago before he was Pope?
'Subtle seductions' is hardly condemnation. Sounds to me like he was appeasing the German author by telling her to write to the correct people.
In any event, my personal experiences are what form my personality and opinion. If your allodoxaphobia makes you swoon at any of my personal opinions, then I would suggest you are rather irrational.

Octavius, Rest assured, nothng you say or do would ever make me swoon. Perhaps you should have looked up allodoxaphobia too.
I don't think you read the link properly. The pope said a little more than that.
Mani Naomi saying that wizard has no time for the religious I don't believe I've ever said anything of the kind.

Wiz, it wasn�t really a reflection on scholarship, more a comparison of similarities. Mani and I both�.are men, have religious beliefs, have masters�.
Next Mani will tell us that he also belongs to a Morris dancing troupe and has a stash of tear-stained broken Mariah Carey LPs in his loft. It�s a small world after all.

ANY Says ''I find argument that people are driven to hate religion because of the House of Lord's, religious assemblies and the like extremely weak.
If you analyse the majority of posts by non believers in this section, it's usually about using answerbank as an opportunity to abuse people with a different viewpoint or background rather than putting across valid grievences.
It's not a valid grievance ? Unelected members of a Cult deciding on our Laws ? What could be More Valid ?

Most legislation can be introduced in the House of Commons and Lords, but, most commonly is introduced in the House of Commons. The power of the House of Lords to reject a bill passed by the House of Commons is severely restricted by the Parliament Acts. Royal Assent can be given without any Lords involvement.
Of the members in the House of Lords, there are�
614 Life Peers
75 elected by their own political party
15 elected by the whole house
2 Royal Officers
26 Lords Spiritual from CofE
Which ones did any of us elect? In comparison to the Lords Temporal, the Lords Spiritual represents about 3.5% and they rarely sit or vote in large numbers. A study carried out between 1979 and 1987 found one vote which was decided by the votes of the Lords Spiritual present, and this was only handful of them. Can you provide any recent examples of how they have decided on our laws with any detrimental effect?
