If I were asked for a one-sentence sound bite on religion, I would say I was against it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
It would be intolerant if I advocated the banning of religion, but of course I never have.
I've taken a stand against religion for as long I've been able to write and think.
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
I don't care what your religion is, as long as it doesn't chastise anybody that's not part of it.
When you write about faith, people will be upset with you no matter what. I've heard from readers who were disgusted with the depiction of monotheistic religion. I've also heard from readers who were upset because my portrayal of faith did not adhere to their specific doctrines. Fortunately, I have high risk tolerance.
I'm against organised religion of any kind.
The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.
Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy.
