And just to expand on this a bit more: a person having a religion isn’t the problem. A group of people having a religion isn’t the problem either.
It becomes a problem when said people try to enforce the religion and its rules onto others.
You want to worship a god who tells you to pray 8 times a day? Sure, go for it. You want to follow a religion that tells you not to eat pork? Awesome, more bacon for me. You want your religion’s restrictions - such as, punishing being gay or blasphemy by death? Fuck right off and fuck off some more.
