"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus
Religion has been used to support, justify and protect almost every violent or repressive movement in history. Millions of people have died in wars, crusades, inquisitions, witch hunts and other murderous acts attributable to religion.
If God loves everyone and is a forgiving God, how could he send some people to hell for eternity?
The religious right want to control how you live your life. Based on the word of their "God," many religious people try to pass laws that limit your personal freedom.
Many religious people teach other people to have low self-esteem: you can't do anything without God and anything you accomplish, you didn't actually accomplish, God did it.
There is no scientific evidence to support a god or gods.
