This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Probably a lot of people's
...but I have a irrational hatred of religion, or to be more correct, the belief in religion.
I have no problems with bumders/gays/lesbians there's no skin off my nose (or rectum), so you carry on - not hurting anyone, so why is it my business? Black/Asian people - no problem whatsoever, in fact I probably wouldn't even notice unless someone actually pointed out the colour of skin.

To say that I'm generally a 'live and let live' type person would sum me up quite properly.

Yet, people who believe in something that cannot be proven, something that is quite obviously (to me) a massive fairy tale really riles me up.
Normal, intelligent people suddenly go to a massive building to 'talk' or 'listen' to some bloke dressed up in black who apparently can talk to an invisible, omnipotent, unseeable, unprovable being really winds me up.
I mean, when kids have an invisible friend, it's because they're lonely or something, so you can sort of understand it, but when adults do the same it's just odd and the fact that they're sucked in by it makes me fume at the ears.

You mention other potential prejudices
The difference between religion and all the rest is that you don't choose your sexual preference, you don't choose your skin colour. But you do choose to have religious beliefs. It makes it completely different.

Thank you, you're spot on. I pointed those out to show that in all other walks of life, I hold no prejudices at all.
It's the being sucked in by it all that I can't stand.
