Praying to God, having a spritual relationship with Him in many religions is in some cases blocked because you have to do certain ceremonies or rituals.
I pray to God, talk to Jesus and when one goes to church to share with others, sometimes they expect you to dress a certain way, eliminate earings,no make up and always wear skirts.
I go to church in dress slacks, nice blouse,make up and I do wear small earings because it is you with god and not the clothes nor the styles.
Many churches impose rules that make some feel blocked from having a real spritual relationship with God.

The duty of a religion is to teach Love to us .
Religion should not fill our hearts with inhuman Hatred.
It should fill our hearts with Divine Love for others.
But during 1947( during India-Pakistan ) Partition , The Hindus and the Muslims fought with each other and consequently around 20,00,000 people were killed .
( the most heinus crime ever took place on earth ) [The peak : on March 6- 13,1947 ]
* women's garments were fully stripped off and they were made naked and even run on the public places and roads .
* women were gang- raped.
* women's breasts were cut-off.
* With hot iron bars ,religious symbols were drawn as everlasting marks on women's secret parts.
* For fear of being raped by the enemies, even the head of the families themselves killed all the other family members.
( Thus Santh Raja Singh ,father of a man called Beer Bagadhur Singh, of Tho Aa Kalsa village ,of Kahoodha Taluk did in his family and killed with his own kirban ( sword)number of people (including ) nearly 26 young virgin girls.
* Beer Bagadhur Singh the Sikh , again says ,that he was so ashamed to know how 200 Muslim women were made naked and were compelled to dance in the Golden Temple of the Sikhs in Amristar throughout night .
* The success of each group was calculated according to the number of women raped.
* pregnants and babies also were killed in an inhuman manner.
[ The massacre devoured people not less than 2000,000 ]
This is just a single example from the history (with regard to religion ).
When things are such in history , we generally speak that all religions teach LOVE.
Note :- When people like me come forward to share the Truth with our friends ,some people just complaint it to be an abuse ( To the Yahoo answers ) and make them delete such answers .Last week also such a thing happened to me.
I love all people, the whole humanity .I want to make the people aware of wars,violence and blood- shed . But some selfish people make such answers get deleted.
The things I have mentioned above can be read in all books which explain the India-Pakistan Partition.
Particularly I would recommand the following famous books

Religion binds you to rules and regulations, to ritualism. It makes one feel hemmed in. It does not flex and always has the proviso-Believe or be damned. It is blinkered in thought and action.It seeks to draw you in and straitjacket you into its own limited way of thinking. It seeks to close your heart.
Spirituality, on the other hand, frees you from any limitation. You create the rules, you choose the path. It is expansive in nature. You seek the answers in your own way. It is not limiting in any way. You will always be comforted with the proviso- Whatever you believe, I am with you. it creates the feeling of abundance. It opens your heart to divinity.

When people answer questions in the flesh and not in the spirit.
People need to quit being religious and just listen to God.
Knowledge is evil, to the poster who said it's not. The serpent said to the Woman , " You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
See before this we did not know anything but good, NOT EVIL.

Legalism is what Jesus hated. Yes you are right, it is an obstruction to true faith.

When it becomes dogmatic and stuck on outworn tradition it causes stagnation in the spiritual evolution of humanity.

When people are prohibited from learning something because "it's evil".
Knowledge is not evil. The only people who believe knowledge is evil is those who seek to control others by keeping them ignorant.

When they get too hung up on religious doctrine and don't communicate with Spirit directly.

When you are told, do not question - do not seek out experience...you only need faith.
