oohh now you're sounding all Martin Luther-y. getting ready to nail some long-window treatise on the nearest church/mosque's door?
beyond that I agree: i think the problem many people have with religion has nothing to do with spirituality or belief, and everything to do with the interpretation of different ways to prove god-loves-you-best.
I can have a more spiritual experience sitting on a rock in the middle of the wilderness than crammed in a church hearing some loud-mouth harrange me about how i've sinned this way or that way. i can lead a moral life based on the very simple don't-be-a-jerk edict, and let the rest of the details that mean nothing (eating pork, covering my nose, going to church every sunday and hating fabulous men) hang.
