From what I know there is the rule about food, Jewish believers can only eat kosher meat. That might have been relevant once, like when there was a chance of getting ill from meat killed a different way, but now it shows a lack of understanding about the modern world. It seems to me really out of date.
Also there is the way bits are cut off of boys penis, that seems really messed up. I couldn’t imagine a god telling people to do that. I'm surprised it's not outlawed.
And the way a women can’t become a religious leaders, that seems like old fashioned sexism.
Now I don’t think it’s all bad, there seems to be a wonderful sense of family. And sometimes community. And I do think the muslim religion is more primitive, and christianity is out of date too.
But I suppose it’s easy for me to criticize religions when I have none, maybe the way people are controlled by faith is a good thing in someway. However it seems to cause a lot of the wars that go on, and it seems to lead to people hating each other.
