people didnt like being questioned and shoqed that their commonly held and often un-questioned beliefs were wrong or based in false principles or simply based on principles that they didnt agree with but realized after questioned that they were committed to them nonetheless.
the charge of impiety was an excuse to silence him.

He questioned the existance of god. He believed in critical thinking (or questioning) everything including religion and ethics. He never said that religion was wrong (as it appears above). He never claimed to have the answers. He just thought that not debating and not questioning issues was a wasted life. As a matter of fact, he would be upset by the answer above, because he isn't critically questioning the belief in religion, he's merely stating it is false. Not Socratic.

He was not awestruck and dumbstruck by religion!
