Religion as a monopoly on your life, as an ultimatum on what you can and can't do, as a way for religious leaders to use you as a pawn and control your life, is horrible and wrong, and a driving force behind a lot of evil in society.

Again, I think you are confusing religion with spirituality (& a little with philosophy). Religion is a social club, membership is just based on saying your faith is similar to others in the org. No one knows another's heart, no one knows another's faith. Religion is a club, nothing more.

I used to contribute to my local PBS affiliate, but I won't if they keep putting this shit on the air.  |
