I've never been really harmed by religion itself, I believed till about the age of 13 but when I started to see what has been done in the name of religion I started feeling a huge disgust for it, also the way they paint the things, sounds just too damn good for me.
Christians that are hypocritical doesn't do much for me, it's in the way of being and prolly not because they are Christians, just use religion as an excuse (like the papal state or the Orthodox patriarhies).  
The book was made thousands of years ago offering a real convenient theory about life and everything, for some, people was then very propense at believing in deities by then and it has been this way till not so long ago just think at all it retarded our scientific advances, religion has been keeping the world at war since ever and I see no other use for it than calming/controling people.
Hope I didn't missexpressed myself :).
