Sounds like you have some preconceived notions and an axe to grind my friend.

Alright there obviously are Muslims out there who are peaceful but it cannot be denied that the foundations of Islam are rotten, backward, and intolerant and that it's founder was a conquerer war lord who spread Islam with the sword.
Islam is not spread by the sword. Most Muslims are Asian. They were not conquered Peace Spock.

I think you have the causation arrow pointed the wrong way.

All beliefs about anything supernatural are dumb since we don't and can't have an answer and this universe is so complex that we're probably so far off it's pathetic, I hope this is all I get to experience, and that there is nothing else after this life, but that's just me.
Live your life based on this reality, not on something you can't know about, even if you think you do.
Then again, 72 virgins sounds pretty awesome, sucks you'd only have virgins for 72 days or less, but still

I agree, I think it's all ridiculous and I see no reason to not criticize it's ridiculousness. I respect shamanism, Buddhism, and some sects of Hinduism because the overall message and it's principles are at peace and promote peace. I don't know a single shamanist or Buddhist terrorist.

I think criticizing organized religion is fine, the average religious person I've met though, I feel no need to tell them they're wrong, since there is always a slight possibility they could be right, but their beliefs don't effect me and 95% don't bring it up usually, while organized religion very much effects other people.

Yeah that's cool, you respect 'everything else'. Now explain the torch you carry for Christianity/Catholicism.

I use to be catholic, all Catholicism did for me is plant subconscious seeds of guilt and confusion. Because of Catholicism I have subconscious guilt for my sexuality and because of Catholicism I grew up in an intolerant family environment where my personality was heavily repressed for the sake of catholic values. The Catholic Church is an outright abomination bent on authoritarian control over peoples personal way of lives. It's an evil political institution meant to be keep people enslaved to dark age morals. Catholicism threw me into a deep depression, when I found out my girlfriend at the time was an atheist I was tormented by the idea that she was going to burn in hell and it ruined our relationship and threw me into a deep depression. Catholicism and fundamental Christianity is toxic and has done nothing but poisoned my life.
I have respect for the Jesus Movement and some non-denominational groups that are more liberal but Catholicism and Protestantism fucking blow almost as much as Islam.
