I don't have a lot of time for religion generally and less time for any religion that suppresses women, imprisons them in lives they have no choice over, indoctrinates them into wearing clothes that cover them, because obviously just wearing a skirt and jumper is so provocative no man can control himself, and generally treats any woman as if she is less than any man or the property of a man. That's before we even get to terrorism and those quietly supporting it in the name of religion.

I do accept that some people find great comfort and support from their religion and kudos to them if they do but when religion is used to force people into a way of life that was acceptable a 1000 year ago, then no, I don't like it.
