I'd have to say certain branches of Christianity.
I suppose that sounds odd, since I'm Catholic, but certain other "brances" of Christianity aren't exactly my favorite. Christians tend to try and force their religions on other cultures and countries at times. I'm not saying all Christians do, because seeing that I'm Catholic and no one at my church really does that, but a lot of them do. |

Christianity. Basicalyl for the reason that they rely so much on God to keep them safe and don't really have an opinion for themself. They think that God is the reason for everything, which I totally don't believe in.

QUOTE(MarchHare2UrAlice @ Apr 18 2005, 7:14 AM) your friends who are BUDDHIST or, alternately, your friends who PRACTICE buddhism why on earth do you have a problem with people using beads in a religion, out of interest? im ean, they are an aid to meditaion. its not like they try and lynch people with strings of beads... welll.... i imagine because they believe the messiah hasn't come, for a start. and yes, i think its safe to say that your religious beliefs are somewhat influenced by your religion. personally... evangelical religions, such as islam or christianity irk me. i dont wish to be saved, thank you. self righteousness bothers me. i frankly dont care if your going to heaven. please be quiet  thank you so much for that comeback because i was seriously going to go crazy. it's just pure ignorance if you dislike a religion because they shave their heads and practice peace?!  but anyways, back to the topic itself. I know that this may stir some tension but Christianity irks me. i remember once, i got in a big verbal argument witha girl because she was preaching about how god was great and god was wonderful and that everyone was created equal yet she looks down on bisexuals. it's the huge hypocrisy that i dislike the most. they say that everyone is equal but once there is talk about a homosexual- they go bizerk and the whole "god created adam and eve NOT adam and steve" issue! it bothers me because they are being such hypocrites it. it's saddening because a homosexual would have to live with the thought that if they continue with their preferneces, then they will be damned to hell! i remember when "passion of the christ" was released, there was a newspaper article that said "after watching this, if you are not Christian- you might as well be damned to hell. convert yourselves!" i was so upset and bugged. countless Christians have tried to convert me, especially when i was younger. i remember a van full of "fun" people would always be near my elementary school and they would always pass out candy. little did i know that the songs they were singing were praising Jesus. -__- another thing that bothers me about the religion is that no matter all the sins that you have committed in your life, when time comes for 'confessions'- all you do is confess everything you have done and you are free from everything and will be able to enter the gates of heaven. i'm sorry but that's a load of bull. it's like saying that you can commit crimes but once you have found HIM or confess yourself to him, you are free from all sins and can be sent to heaven when your time is near. it's just full of hypocrites, i'd say. |

any religion that people try to shove down my throat.
 i'm agnostic but i'm a baptized catholic and i go to a catholic high school, so i respect religions. i just hate it when people try to force me to believe. so technically i don't dislike the religion, just those people. fundamentalists of the bible bug me too. |

I don't know, I really respect everyone's religion and beliefs. I don't really like the whole idea of a religion though. Like I think people should be more individual on what they believe in and not be so dependent on things they are told to be dependent on. I just think people usually follow what they are born into and believe what they are told to believe.

all but mine because i believe that muslims are just using the God of Christians to be their God or just claiming but n e one can make up some religion n claim they believe in the Heavenly Father of the Christians. i just believe that Jesus is the only way to go or else you'll go to Hell. it's just my belief cuz it's wat i was raised to believe in n i believe in it all the way. i dont like n e other religions at all cuz...i believe there is only One God and that is the God of the CHristians and also that Jesus is Savior. n Judiasm...well...i just feel sad for them cuz they dont believe there a is a Christ.

Most morals [like.. in our present day] are based on religious values.. but some people are stretching/distorting them like they base their plans on a book instead of their own personal belief.
I do not have any problems with any religion.. but some people are the problem. They're missing out the point of religion. Religion is an another way of guiding a person's life.. guide not control or whatev. Jesus Christ said to his disciples in the Bible to spread the 'word' not to convert because they cannot change other people but themselves. Spread the 'word' meaning to help others and everything.. Yes, apostles do want people in church because they believe that it would save people to believe in God and all that. But converting literally is just sad. Like what I said before, you cannot change anybody but yourself.. so those apostles could just be a model to other people. A believer does not only spread the 'word'.. he has many duties that are based on what he only believes in what the Bibles says. If he 'understands' God then he should know himself too. I dunno.. just said those chunk of words because I am being hated in my school for not believing in God.

I dislike Christianity really (even though I celebrate Christmas... I am Athiest though). I mean they have NO proof that there really IS a god but yet they still devote their whole life on worshipping him/her. Well, I guess that classifies for alot of religions... but Christianity, bothers me.

religion = cool
I think all religion is very interesting, and one might be true; however, all might be wrong. But trying to cram religion down people's throat is not cool. Jehovah's witnesses annoy me, cause they have this passive-agressive thing that's super..ANNOYING. I need more adjectives.. |

disliking a religion? RUDE! actually iam a catholic. in my opinion it is hurting to see your religion being disliked by other people because they just dont understand its teachings or what-so-ever reasons.. (whatever reason it is, still hurting).. its better to understand each other that we have different beliefs and rights to choose what we want to believe..
p.s. people who hate catholics, iam not angry or what. i respect your opinion but if you have bad experience/s with catholics, well not all catholics are like them... understand and dont judge, we are free to voice out and choose... disliking a religion is weird and i repeat RUDE.. |

^ The people who have expressed their dislike for Christianity have given reasons why, and already explained that only some people try and do that. I think Steph gives a great point, that she doesn't hate or dislike the religion, only the people who force them on her.
And the people who dislike Christianity probably understand it more than you do, considering how often they get preached about it. |

Why would you want to start a topic that asks people to state religions they don't like? For one, no one cares, and you know this is going to end up no good.

I feel so hated. Good thing I'm not like most Christians. I barely call myself that because all I beleive in is Christ. I don't have to go around proving my beleifs right, thats just what I beleive. The reason everyone stated they dislike Christianity is the reason I dont go to church. However, I find it unfair to say you dislike christianity, dislike the Christians. Christianity itself does not teach preachyness and judging and running aorund condemning people and trying to force them to belive something. So dislike the people who follow it and warp it, not the Religion itself.

Im not hating the people themselves, I have many friends who are hardcore christian's but I still have love for them, over the years they learned that no matter what I will not give into the belief of christ. Not the people, what they believe in is what I don't like... |
