I find christianity offensive sometimes. The idea of converting people to their beliefs turns me away. For me, someone's spiritual beliefs are very personal and can vary a lot, even within a certain religion. To replace someone's personal beliefs with a cookie-cutter religion that's been perverted so much over the centuries sickens me. Also, I find that many chrisians take the viewpoint of my way or hell. They don't tolerate other's views. Instead the idea is often either you follow my way and go to my heaven, or your following some form of the devil and will burn in hell.
As a follower of one of the many neo-pagan religions, it's my belief that every person's beliefs are very personal and can vary greatly. Everyone's view is valid and should be accepted. Everyone should follow the path that fits them and should never conform to someone else's views.

I try not to be offended by anyone's religion, because Christ was not offended until the Pharisees looked down on anyone...I fervently disagree with anything that does not follow Christ, but offended? Offence is chosen by the person who takes it. I can't be offended by what someone else believes-I just don't have to believe it. On that note, all religions are the same to me...not right-none more than the other. Christ is the only way.

I am not specifically offended by other's believes, but I am not a big fan of many religions. In the Christian religion in which I practice, we are taught to spread our believes to everyone, so that they may become saved. If you ignore this "great commission" and allow others to practice a different believe system, then you are knowingly allowing them to condemn themselves to hell. This tugs on the hearts of many christians, there fore they feel they need to spread the word of God everywhere. I feel such peace with my decision about God that I want others to experience that, although I do not try to cram it down people's throats, I do try to offer a new way of thinking. If you want to know what bothers me the most, it is demonism, or satanism. These religions worship the absence of God, and intentionally hate God, whilst they acknowledge Him.

Maybe I shouldnt answer this one, since I am not really offended by any religion. It just makes me sad to see people waste their time in nonsensical choreographies and basically believing in whatever someone sees fit to tell. And the true believers pathos and hate toward atheists lack of disciplinary religionroutines and fatwas, really...

IMO... islam is the greatest evil facing the world today.... followed far behind in second place by mormonism..... Why dose it "bother"me? why dose it not bother you?... both seek to enslave and dominate and eliminate all oposition... both...IMO... are deceptions of satan intended to keep mankind from God.... there are other deceptions out there for sure... but those two are the greatest threats globaly today. As far as "strutured belief systems", "religions" go....
from a geo-political standpoint...in the worldly perspective...
China dwarfs both of them....

Any one who's members try to force their beliefs upon others. I don't care what anyone else believes, but I expect them to have the same respect for me.

It is hard to say. I find them offensive because I place such a high premium on logic as applied to evidence (for what I hope are obvious reasons), and I find that religious adherents are almost universally unwilling to even consider evidence that their beliefs are absurd.

Christianity. Because they harass about it. They preach. They're rude enough to say "I'll pray for you" (it's always condescending like they're saying you're being naughty little children and they're going to go tell daddy). And generally because they don't know they should keep it to themselves instead of try to convert me every chance they get.

islam, it says i should do what men tell me without question, it says I have to have 2 witnesses against a man because his word is better than mine, it says I should be stoned to death, because I had sex with someone I was not married to. It says my children are the property of their fathers. And it says daily that because I am not muslim, I should be killed.
