I can't think of any particular religion that offends me, offhand. People have the right to believe (or not believe) whatever they want.

I am offended by any religion that does not allow women to worship in the same way as the men in the same religion. This is idiotic by nature; sex should not be a determining factor in religion based on the fact that every religion needs both sexes to survive. Let me see if there were no women there would be no men to have a religion to start off with.

I wouldn't say I'm offended by a particular religion, but certain irrational practices by some people of faith do offend me.

i am not offended by any one religion, but rather by certain followers of any religion that either A) shove it down others throats as the "only true religion" B) those who use their religion as a shield to judge, hate, condemn others and/or commit any number of serious crimes/sins they otherwise preach against in others; or C) try to use their religion to take away my rights i.e. forget that church is supposed to be separate from state.
i have nothing against any religion and i believe people who have true faith probably live easier lives because of their faiths and i am happy for them. However their faith should not infringe on my life and my rights.
So to answer your question - the institution of religion is not at all offensive to me - it's SOME of the people in those religions that offend me.
The biggest thing that offends me is some people need to remember that freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.

No, not at all. I do not allow anybody or any religion to make me feel offended. I expect that to happen as part of the experience of being the disciple of Jesus. He even foretold that we will be like sheep among wolves, and will suffer persecution and even death in the hands of followers of religions which claim to be Christians, but actually are Antichrists or followers of the Father of Lies and Murderers just like the religious leaders during the time of Jesus.

Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am.
I am offended by the followers of any religion (you know who you are) who try to tell everyone that they have the only way to god, and that everyone else is just too ignorant to know what it is that they should be believing, and that all other beliefs are bullshit, and that everyone who doesn't believe as they do is damned to hell forever and ever and evermore(and a few days longer).
Thanks for asking.

There are aspects of many religions that offend me, but I can't point to any one religion as a whole that I find offensive. I mostly have a problem with any religious tenets that are oppressive, exclusive, or discriminatory.

Offended no...Annoyed and tired of being harassed? Yes... I am for science and Earth. Why do some religious groups push so hard to get others to convert when they could be focusing on other more valuable things such as- real education and community service.. ...Cults. Brainwashed... Imaginary... All respect, jb

Not at all! All the religions preach peace nothing but peace...of mind, peace in the environment and peaceful death!
The preachers who highlight certain verses from the religious books come out with heir own interpretation, that misguides the inexperienced youths and carried away with wrong meaning, that becomes a wild fire in due course of time with hatred and enmity...

Last week i went to the mall,just before Christmas i spend a good 4 hrs .To me it seemed every 30 minutes could been 15m
I saw someone praying on this little mat like nobody was around .
I was not offended ,it was just weird ,i didn't know if i should start leaning or start praying it was like i was invading there space .
This was in Dallas mall ,and i heard allot of MUSLIM have moved there .
I know on the Bible it says ,as long two people are praying that's praising the lord ,you don't need to go to church to praise him ,you can do it at home on your own privacy ,But In the MALL?
