I wonder if that's simply a view reinforced by hatred
Yes, religion is often simply reinforced by hatred.
That is a view supported by reality. That view is not supported by hate. The hatred was born from my disgust of religions and it's impact on the world.
Have you ever stood back and tried to comprehend the insanity of the worlds religions? Have you not heard people shouting "allahu akbar!" before they bomb innocent people? Have to seen the megachurches or the "god hates fags" signs? What about the untold wealth stored in the Vatican or the billions held by the mormon church?
The people that are truly just seeking spiritual health and try to live by their religious rules are the real victims of this mess. Sheep don't cause any problems and just do what they are told.
Do people really believe that an omnipotent being runs on prayer power or human sacrifice? Whatever.
To answer your question "Have you ever stood back and tried to comprehend the insanity of the world's religions" I want you to know that yes, yes I most certainly have; I believed the exact same things you believed for 6 long and dreadful years. Since it seems spewing hate is the only thing you came here for I'm going to respectfully leave you and your ideas alone as intermingling with your issues is not my intent.
I am calling it like it is. You can see the world for what it is or you can chose to ignore it.
I am not a hateful person by nature, believe it or not. Actually, I am quite happy! My hatred is focused completely at religion and it's sickening impact on this world. My hatred is also focused on the people that use religion for power and then use that power to strip freedoms by creating laws against others who don't share their "beliefs".
However, if you really want to understand what it is like to discover a healthy form of "spirituality" and develop a deep love and understanding for what this world is really about, I suggest some good healthy doses of psilocybin. It has a really good habit of cutting through a ton of bullshit that we have been fed since we were born.
