@farooqkz You are correct that many people (myself included) dislike religious authority. For me it is because so often in history and present time, religious authority was and is used to exert power over people, be it moralistic or by force. That happened in Christianity, but it also in the other big religions. Looking to Iran or Afghanistan, I see authoritarian states build in the name of Islam. So looking at the big picture, I don't see a difference in the effect of different religions.
