Default unfortunately

i hate to agree with you, truebrit, but you are right. Religion, especially Christianity, is not meant to cause aggressive behavior in people. I think religion becomes a "crutch" so people can justify their actions. I mean, we have had battles for land and power since our ancestors could walk upright(kind of interesting that i believe in god, and evolution!), and probably even before that. Two things really annoy me:
1.)Militant, religious fanatics who kill in the name of God/Allah and/or Jesus
2.)The ignorance of the interpretors of religious works, only using it to satisfy their own needs.

I was gonna say people who hate organized religion because they think of it ONLY as a form of control, but the more i thought about it, they more i understand where you are coming from. It is not meant to brainwash you, although some have taken it that far. I can see it as disapproving of organized religion, but how can you disagree with the teachings of Jesus, the orginal bleeding liberal, only a little more open minded.
