For me it's the people who get into your face and literally tell you that if you don't believe as they do you are going to hell...(personally I am anyway)...They are as much as saying the same thing as the extremists in Afghanistan who are going to kill a person whom converted to christianity. I personally think that if the US wasn't a country that didn't have freedom of religion you certainly could see where some of these people, particulary the fundamentalists, could condone doing the same kind of thing.

You don't have to go to far back in history especially in Europe to see religious persecution practiced all the time.

But, my personal experience has taught me that organized religion, regardless of the particular faith, sect, etc. is not the way I want to go.
