And why?

Mine are Christianity ("surrender to Christ") and Buddhism ("eliminate desire"). Both are the most boring, moralistic and reactionary religions that are popular in the West (Buddhism being the smallest of the two obviously).

Put me down for Christianity. Haven't had much exposure to the others to hate them.

I guess it doesn't count as a religion, but definitely Scientology

BUDDHISM!?

Wow man. How can someone hate Christianity and not Islam? And Buddhism is barely a religion in many ways, and is the most pacifistic and tolerant "religious" philosophy I know of.

I would have to say I hate Islam the most. Mainly because it is scarier than any other religion. I feel it is where Xtianity was about three to four hundred years ago. If fundamentalist Muslims had their way, we would all be burned at the stake (or whatever passes for execution in the Muslim world).

Xtianity is a close second because it is so pervasive in America and affects my every day life. Negatively, I might add.

Hate the Belief, love the Believer.

I love Buddhism and would make a good monk. I only wish I knew more about it.

Woot! Kung-Fu Catholic!

Sorry Amos, I just had to say that. I have no self-restrait - but it's only because I'm an immoral atheist.

I live amongst fundamentalist Christians. Islam is their enemy, not mine.

Yes, I have met so many annoyingly liberal, "Free Tibet", "eliminate desire" Buddhists on the internet... I do not like them at all.

This strikes me as pretty immature. You hate anything that annoys you?
