I think hate's too strong a word for me... I don't like religion as such, but I don't have a problem with religious people as long as they don't shove it down my throat. It would be hypocritical of me to shove atheism down somebody's throat - it's my belief and I'm entitled to it, just as they are entitled to theirs. But I can't say I like religion because I feel some religious beliefs are unfair and they cause conflict between groups of people.
If religion gives you something to hold on to in life, then that's great. I know it helps so many people, having a faith to believe in. It's when people get too preachy that it doesn't help anyone.
