Do you dislike religion because it has a lot of definitions?
Zero with everything: Define "organized religion"
I also dislike Groupthink. But does religion always have to do with it?

<<Do you dislike religion because it has a lot of definitions? http://www.religioustolerance.org/rel_de...%3E%3E
Religion has one good definition, and perhaps a whole host of poor ones.
RELIGION - The moral virtue by which a person is disposed to render to God the worship and service he desrves. It is sometimes identified with the virtue of justice toward God, whose rights are rooted in his complete dominion over all creation. Religion is also a composite of all the virtues that arise from a human being's relationship to God as the author of his or her being, even as love is a cluster of all the virtues arising from human response to God as the destiny of his or her being. Religion thus corresponds to the practice of piety toward God as Creator of the universe. (Etym. probably Latin religare, to tie , fasten, bind, or relegere, to gather up, treat with care.)
If you'er looking for a single good definition of religion, the one above is all you need to know.

No. I dislike religion for what it does to healthy human beings. Once a child is indoctrinated, it is forever damaged.

I dislike religion because it perpetuates some pretty detrimental things, i.e. patriarchy, heterosexism, and various other forms of bigotry and intolerance.
