When people feel a certain religion claims to have all the answers, that's what turns them off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
So obviously, any religion embodies some form of rules and expectations for behavior, and even sometimes consequences, and they don't want to hear any of that.
We're terrified of not having the answers, and we would sometimes rather assert an incorrect answer than make our peace with the fact that we really don't know.
Religion gives you a sense of certainty. It makes you feel that you have the right answers to really big questions and that you've grasped the truth.
Religion teaches you to be satisfied with nonanswers. It's a sort of crime against childhood.
All religion seems to need to prove that it's the only truth. And that's where it turns demonic. Because that's when you get religious wars and persecutions and burning heretics at the stake.
Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private 'revelation'.
Religion deals in certainties and philosophy deals more in un-answered questions.
It's not so much religion per se, it's false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I'm really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.
For many people religion can be so easy they stumble right over it.
