The offense, I suspect, is less about you not being a fan of religion, and more about you seeming to blame it for everything and the kitchen sink.

The thing that gets people all offendy is this feeling that you are ignoring reality in order to get your hate on. About religion. Which thus far your reasoning in the newsgroup would be to blame religion for.

Sure, religion has a lot to answer for. No question. And if you said it like that, even the most religious of people would agree.
