4. I cannot, in any way, state how religion has hurt me...
because, to be honest, my experiences in the Church were pleasant and uneventful, I just found I couldn't believe it any more.

However, I've observed the harm religion does to others, and oppose it on those grounds, whether its trying to restrict Choice, persecute GLBTQ people, ban contraceptives, refuse medical treatment to children, etc.

I'm a straight white male, the predominant religion in the United States is damn near tailor made for what is assumed to be my comfort and well being to the exclusion of all others.
