Well that's good but I don't agree with "religion hurts people". Now again, I'm not going to go into in depth because this really isn't the time or place, but I'll offer my two cents.The only problem with religion is that humans tend to make errors. Everyone has their own interpretation about everything. Now from my point of view, those homophobic people are wrong because my God teaches everyone to be accepting and loving of their fellow man and woman. But to them, they might think the gay couple down the block is wrong because there was a verse in the bible that said it was wrong even though they probably couldn't remember which bible verse it was. Or maybe they just want that gay couple to a good afterlife and try to explain to them why it is wrong.Now we as human beings are naturally bad, but we aren't perfect. Mistakes are made and horrible things happen.

Fair enough.
Though it was Religion that told them it was ok, and even labeled it as a good thing to be doing.

And even if we get past all the "Causes violence and pain" bit, there's still the matter of proving if the God even exists or not.
But honestly, if you're religious but not a hateful bigot you're probably fine in my books.

Just as long as when a serious topic is being debated like education, health care etc you don't pull an argument like "Well God says to spread his word to all. So we should teach God in our schools" or "Well god says sex is just for creation, so let's ban protection", then we should be fine.

Also like you, I don't really care to get into a giant religious debate here.
