The fact that religion, throughout our history, has mainly been used an excuse harm and abuse others. Be it Nazi's against Jews, or Islam against the western world (and vise versa) Catholics/Protestants we could go on forever. The killing, in the name of "God" (whichever your faith) never ends.

Supreme authority is the worst thing. Can you imagine a world ruled by Islamic Imans. Gays get killed. Speak against the Prophet you die. Dont pray five times a day you get whipped. I find it scary how religious leaders time and time again are distorting science. If one religion ruled the world there authority would come from God. You can not change Gods law since it is perfect. The day the one religion would take over, would be followed by a massive book burning.
We would be truly be back in the middle ages.

the fanaticism which is associated with it.
the fact that so many actually believe they have God's favor.
the fact so many kill in the name of God, Allah etc...
the bling and prostering that is associated with Christian televangelists.
the fact that for so many, becoming religious has allowed them to suspend their ability to reason.
the favoritism that is shown to Israel because in doing so it is supposed to bring about the second coming or Christ.
the fact that present day beliefs are based on ancient texts that no one really knows their inception or accuracy.

I think they are to peaceful and caring and that can be a bad thing. What happens if they have to fight to survive, will they be able to.
Atheism will rise up one day following the Antichrist, will they be able to defend themselves against them or will their hearts be their demise.

When it is used to divide, it is a powerful divider. "I want to be on God's side" is one thing, and "God is on my side" is quite another.

the lengths that some extreme people will go to because of it.
examples: muslims killing christians simply because they are christians, christians killing muslims simply because they are muslims, radical christians blowing up abortion clinics, and so on.
