I agree with kalniel, Zadock and 0iD, which is why in the latter part of my post I made the distinction of "organised religion", as opposed to what I believe are rights which were addressed by the above posters such as free thought, speech, critical thinking, independence, individuality and autonomy.
Organised religion tramples all that, and treats you as if you had no mind to think of your own. In politics today, saying you believe in one religion or the other, seems to automatically ascribe a number of beliefs to you, weather you even knew about them or not. And on the front of thinking and beliefs; Killing is bad, stealing is bad, lying is bad. If you think doing those things is only in contravention to your faith, I have unfortunate news for you; you are a bad human being.
