OF all the major five religions of the world...
Hindiusm seems to be the most prejudice , since they group there worshipers into a class system
Islam seems to be composed of the most violent followers compared to the other religions
Christianity is the most commercialized religion and has followers who imposed their christian values on nonchristians the most compared to other religions. Also most christians within christianity seem the most divided of all other religions. In other words , they seem to have unneccessary diverse interpretations of christianity .
Judaism seems to composed of followers who , throughout the millineunium are either massacred or harresed for there beliefs the most by nonjews and gentiles.
Buddhism seems to compose of followers who are the most peaceful of all faithworshipers. They don't go around blowing themselves up or hijacking airplanes just because you don't agree with them. They don't go around other countries promoting their religions , or mixing their religion with politics. They don't have a class system.

"In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you.
He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!
Take from that what you will... ;)
Religion is a fucken joke.
I don't know that I would call all those who are religious stupid. I would be quick to point out that they ONLY believe because they have been indocrinated as a child into believing. Take away indoctrination, and we would have far less (maybe no) religious zealots left.
And please, don't try and equate religion with morals. Religion is the most amoral ideology out there. The crusades, inquisition, WW2 (see German Proestant position during ww2), 9/11, etc.
Morality is in no-way tied to religion.
Religion is just a means of social control. "The opiate of the masses" as Marx correctly pointed out.
Get a life!

There is no rational justification for the existence of any sort of God. Further, religion is in fact harmful in that it limits thought, discussion, and exploration. As members of a religion you are spoon-fed the pablum of life.
Let's do-away with religion all together!
