Don't say that there is nothing wrong/bad, that only means that you are lieing or are plain stupid.

The closest thing I have to a religion is a concept called Gaia, which the short version states that "all that there is, is god". The 'bad' thing about it is you are responsible for your own actions, you can't blame it on another person or an evil spirit. The only 'reward' is knowing that life will continue to express itself after you're gone. Hopefully you can affect some part of the direction it takes.

You must differentiate between religion and churches. I can find a lot of things wrong with every Protestant denomination and the Catholic Church; they are run by human beings.
I am a member of the Roman Catholic Church and there are things wrong with it. To be a Christian is to be a follower of Jesus, to obey Jesus's teachings as recorded in the Bible. I am first and foremost a Christian. I find nothing wrong with anything that is in the Bible. You will probably disagree with this but I won't call you "stupid", just lacking in spiritual awareness.

Islam is a peace loving religion. There is nothing bad in my religion.
Only the people who are doing bad things in name of Islam. Majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.

Some of my fellow atheists are intolerant of, and condescending toward others, even those who simply wish to be left alone. But I suppose (almost) every belief system has some bad seeds. You may have been going for the actual religion itself, and not the followers, but we don't have a set of religious rules.

I am a pagan and I'm sure things will change when I move (we are moving across the country next week) and meet some diverse people, but the only people I have met so think because there is no univerially accepted book or commandments, they can have all the drugs and sex partners they want.
I beleive everything in moderation, even freedom.

It is hard for anyone to actually live it,, you can talk Christian easily enough , but just try living it! Right off, satan comes after you, and he won't ever stop trying to get you back.. But it is certainly worth it, both in this life and the next.. Praise the Living God, The Lord Jesus Christ, forever!

Christian here. Youth ministry student.
Noticed the ignorance of the majority of Christians. They do not know the Bible and they do not know how to defend their faith. They only fight everything with common verses which are supposed to convince the opposing party. While I believe in using Scripture, you first have to show someone the validity of the Bible before they'll believe it.

I don't have a religion or believe in religion, but as far as religion goes, they are all bad. Religion is really just evil in disguise.
Religion is responsible for the majority of wars, conflict and murder of innocent life since humanity began. There is considerable evidence to classify religion as evil, and talk of religion (Gods etc) should be banned. Because the records prove over and over again throughout humanity that religion is clearly responsible for crimes against humanity, taking part in any religious activity should also be outlawed and made a criminal offence.
The world would be a much happier and peaceful place if religion ceased to exist. Although there are some decent religious believers and preachers, they are unwittingly spreading evil around our world, and that they should simply keep their beliefs and thoughts to themselves in the best interests of humanity, or suffer the consequences for their actions.
People should consider that the world would be like Heaven if religion ceased to exist, but all the believers and preachers have turned the planet into Hell.

Only one thing.
I was born with it. I might have been happier if I found God myself, neither taught nor forced. Today, still a lot of people drag their kids into churches, so they grow wondering about nonsense fears of hell and clinging to a picture of heaven. Let alone that they discover a life of emptiness without God.
