That is, apart from:
- The shameless hypocrisy
- The arrogant self-righteousness
- The willful ignorance
- The cynical indoctrination & poisoning of young minds with prejudice and hate
- The brutal imposition of 'biblical morality'
- The intrusive demands on how to act, what to think, what to believe, and who to kill for believing something else
- The inevitable miserable oppression consistently accompanying religion whenever it assumes any power
I mean, apart from all that, what could you possibly have against it?

Not all religions are like that.
I have no desire to make a blanket statement.

I'll be getting a tattoo in February and I'm a strong christian. Leviticus 19:28 says: "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD." You'll hear it again and again and again. And that your body is a temple. I can't stand when people talk about that verse. They just look at the verse and take it as it is. But do you know what the bible is talking about? The Lord was talking to the pagans! NOT christians. The pagans had these weirdo rituals they do and God didn't like it. And as for your body being a temple, it is... but the bible also says your body is only a tent. So I think you should just take it as you want to take it.

Im a spiritualist organized religion is the most dangerous thing on the planet. There have been more people killed maimed and destroyed in the name of god than for any other reason. Man not god uses it as a way or more correctly as an excuse to impose his will upon others.
Religion is the opiate of the masses. Karl Marx

Well, they follow a book that was written by a Human. That's not all too smart.

I don't like the idea of a middle-man approach to God
I don't need a priest or pastor or minister to talk to God for me

Be careful, change your label to "Christianity"
You're generalizing a little too much but hey, otherwise, you're good
