Most Hated Religions In the World

The Top Ten
1 Islam

Islam is a cult rather than a religion, born out of the mind of warmongering, egomaniac, pedophile! Islam hasn't evolved the same way other religions has. Stuck in the dark ages it is ruled by fear and draconian punishments! Muslims are the first victims of Islam, often being brainwashed and told to disregard any logical thinking by the age of 2 or 3. Muslims are hypocrites and so was Mohammad! For example : the Quran is the spoken word of Allah and clear for all to understand, for all of mankind and for all places and all times!? Why then are there the hadiths, tafseers and commentaries? Why are various sects and clerics understanding it differently to the point of being at war with each other if it is for all to understand so clearly?

Why is there abrogation? Why do later verses of the Quran supersede earlier ones? - was Allah not able to reveal it at first time or did he conveniently change his mind from time to time to suit Muhammad's needs?

Why if Islam is the one true religion (as Muslims say it is) has it not been the dominate one in over 14,000 years? It's a load of old bollox and a cancer to the human race! Muslims will bring the end of our planet...because they're brainwashed, blood thirsty parasites that have nothing to offer this world but violence, only a matter of time until the collective world has had enough.

2 Christianity

You know, there's something I've been wanting to ask you Christians for a long time now: why do you care if atheists celebrate Christmas or not?

Seriously. Why? How could an atheist celebrating Christmas affect your life in any possible way? What, just because we don't believe the same silly things you do, we're not allowed to enjoy the most joyful time of the year?

Christmas isn't just about Jesus. It's about the spirit of giving, it's about spreading joy to the world, it's about seeing those wonderful smiles on the children's faces whenever they open their presents on Christmas Day, it's about spending time with friends and family. It's not about your non-existent savior. It's about being happy and making others feel the same way.

If you're Christian and you think the atheists who celebrate Christmas are hypocrites, then shut up. You're probably just as much a hypocrite as you claim WE are. "They only want the presents"? What a harsh and hypocritical thing to say. I'm more than certain that there are Christians out there who give a damn about the religious parts of the holiday.

Now stop whining and just let us enjoy this beautiful holiday.

3 Scientology

"Make money. Make more money. Make others produce so they can make more money." L. Ron Hubbard.

That is what Scn'y is--a business. Not a religion, a tax-exempt business. A tax-exempt business that abuses its own members, tries to destroy critics and succeeds in destroying families and which abuses children and adults alike.

Don't get sucked in. Members pay thousands of dollars for the "secrets" and auditing is a kind of black hypnosis, designed to rob you of empathy and convince you to pay for its upper level "secrets" wherein you discover you're inhabited by billions of alien beings which cause all your ills.

And you can find all this out for free. The money helps support David Miscavige and his abuse of people.

"A psychological shell game. It offers to help you; it is set up to consume you. It claims it will save the world; it is set up to focus its practitioners' attention entirely inward while they cut themselves off from the world and any other concern. It offers freedom; it gradually restricts all action, thought, relationships and communication to a pinpoint, tunnel-vision focus on its own interests. It offers sanity; it is probably the best method in practice to induce schizophrenia, paranoia and pathological narcissism.

It is an immense and monstrous lie." --Paul V. Tupointeau--

4 Satanism

I read a text about Satanism (said to be written by a Satanist), because I was curious about what they actually believed -- you know, in contrast to what people just assume they believe. It struck me as being very selfish, and not in a healthy way. I mean, there is such thing as healthy selfishness, in terms of making sure to take care of oneself. But, this felt like it put so much emphasis on one's own satisfaction that it was at the detriment of others. Honestly, that's probably an accurate reflection of what most people do...but that isn't exactly something I'm happy about. It really makes the world a worse place to live in.

Satanismis actually about living life like you want to. They believe that us humans made the "gods"by making them up in our heads. Satanism believess that there is no high power that rules the world but its us who make the world how it is. And by the way, Satanism doesn't worship the "devil" or "death" or "Satan" because they don't believe in spiritual beings in the first place. Satanism was destroyed because of the runorrs other religions ssaid about it, Satanism doesn't practice sacrifices or ancient rituals or murder rituals. I think everyone shoould do some research on Satanism because that's what I did and I found things out that I didn't know before

And FYI, I'm not a Satanist at all, I just did research on it and found all this out. I am actually a Catholic so all this surprised me because this isn't what we're taught to believe about Satanism.

5 Hinduism Hinduism is an Indian religion or dharma, a religious and universal order to which Hindus abide. It is the world's third-largest religion, with over 1.2 billion followers, or 15–16% of the global population, known as Hindus. The word Hindu is an exonym, and while Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma, which refers... read more

No one knows what is the truth it is better to follow their own religion and keep peace and give respect to other religions. No one decide to born in a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Buddhism or etc. It is decide my Almighty god which has different name in different religion. The one who claim that his religion is superior than other religion actually they try to divide the humanity and this type of people has always fear to loose something in his life. The one who say to stop idol worship I don't know why some have problem with others if anyone is satisfied with their own way of worship then what is wrong with that. Idol worship is a visualization of god how it can be wrong? Even one who do idol worship or not is not necessary, God can only be achieved by only his pure heart and believe on himself and self satisfaction. God is beyond the comparison, God is beyond the religions, God is beyond the religious books, or etc. Always remember belief is blind, experience is truth and it is valid in every places, countries and religions. violence in Created by man not by religions it is only because of someone demon who are in guise of man.

6 Judaism

I was raised reformed Jewish. I'd say that the culture of Judaism is very valuable, but I'd toss away the religion in a minute, without a second thought. That's because it's just as bad as any other religion, when you get down to it. Something about making so many rules for how people should live their lives ends up having them concentrate more on what's written in a book, than what their own hearts tell them -- and nothing about that is reliably good. I think the most valuable thing about the culture was the emphasis on a strong and thorough education. I was also encouraged to ask questions and think critically, rather than just accepting things at face value. It made a huge positive impact on me as a person. Tolerance was also something stressed -- I cannot personally recall any relative saying a single hateful word about a Muslim, contrary to the popular conception of these two groups always being at odds. Honestly, I think everything I took away from it was more about the culture than the religion, and there were plenty of awful experiences and things I disliked which were certainly part of the religion rather than culture. I wouldn't call myself Jewish now that I'm old enough to decide what I am for myself -- I think that should say it all. But, in terms of culture, I'm very thankful for what it provided me. It's interesting how divergent those experiences were...

7 Roman Catholicism

I converted to Catholicism and love the religion. The.stability and loyalty to what Catholics believe is very comforting. People claim we worship statues and idol false Gods We do not idol anything thing or anyone but the Father, the Son and the Holy Spitit. Many people condemn the Catholic religion. The people that have condemned the religion when discussing it with me are ignorant of the religion because they do not understand the practices and beliefs of the Catholic Church. When I say ignorant it is simply a lack of knowledge. It would be so much better to learn and understand each religion before condemning that church and its members.

Back then the Roman Catholics use to kill other people in different religions because they would do what they thought was 'true Catholicism.'
What they use to do was go to their church & have sex with children saying that's how they showed their love towards children.
Another is they'd go to their church & have sex with everyone they wanted:
Man - Woman
Man - Man
Woman - Woman.

8 Wicca

It's easier to be a human being unburdened by religious rules that push you to be intolerant when your religion is decentralized. On the other hand, it also makes it really easy to claim you are that religion, while simultaneously being utterly ignorant of it. To that end, I've met more people who have claimed to be Wiccan, while seeming to know really nothing about it, than any other religious group. I can't say that gives me a very good impression. If anything, it's pretty sad.

Is that really a religion? Whenever someone mention Wicca I have to think about the T.V. series " Charmed ". It has maybe really ancient roots but nowadays it seems to be more something for gothic hippies with identity crisis.

People thing Wicca is devil worship. Said people are ignorant Christian fools who only know of their own religion, and barely know that.

9 Voodoo

I was married to a Cuban girl who actually got really scared when her sister said she would put a voodoo (or sangria the Cuban variant) curse on her, because we did not 'help' them enough. Helping being maintaining them almost completely.

10 Mormonism

Mitt Romney. A Mormon worth over $100 million who thinks it is a good idea to make a $10,000 wager for fun in front of people who make 1/10 to 1/3 of that in a month. Spit in the face of poor people why don't you?

Beyond that, what if I said I actually knew God and He gave me a special book with all the REAL rules, but then told me not to show anyone (kinda like Joseph Smith, eh? ) And then what if I said I could marry 14 year olds (as many as I want, because I'm a sexual deviant, like Joseph Smith).

But wait! What if I told you that you got your own planet full of virgins to rule over in the afterlife if you converted a bunch of people to Mormonism? God keeps score, after all.

Mormons believe all of this is ok.

Need I say more?

Whether people think it is a cult or not or whatever other things are wrong with it, there is a lot of misunderstading. And some things were wackadoodle back then, but none of us practice polgymay now or anything like that. And the fact is it was a different time period, what was accepted was much different to now. There was a lot that was wrong such as black people not getting the priesthood till later. But you have to understand, again, this was a different time period. A lot of people were racist not just members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Now we preach to be accepting of every color. Times change as people evolve. People who stay in the church stay because we have felt that it is true. Not what our parents are telling us, but our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We are told to follow certain rules like modesty and the word of wisdom (which is why some people think we are a cult), because we believe in being as best as we can. With modesty its because our bodies shouldn't be used as an ornament. And when we are just lounging around or working out we don't have to cover everything. It's all about our intentions. We are all just trying to be the best people that we can be. Maybe we are wrong, but what do we have to lose then? Members of this church are some of the happiest people I know. If in the end none of this was right, we will have lived a happy life with a family and respect for ourselves. So why does it matter if we chose to live this religion if it makes us happy?

The Contenders
11 Sikhism

After learning more about Sikhism, it became obvious that it suffers from the same ignorant, intolerant issues as every other religion I've studied (and I've studied world religions for more than a decade now). It's just a different package. Are there some good differences? Sure. But, I could say the same thing about a long list of other religions. I think the bottom line here is more that when you get a bunch of people together and have them define what's "right" and "wrong" as being specific things, people get vilified, excluded, hated, etc. It's just part of the process. So it becomes that it's not a matter of winning or losing, it's deciding to play that game to begin with that's the problem.

Sikhism is an amazing religion, everything said in the guru granth sahib is just, fair and does not encourage violence! Why is Sikhism on this list, I've never heard of anyone hating on Sikhs laugh out loud.

12 Theistic Satanism

There are two types of Satanism. This kind and then the Athiest Satanism (also known as LaVeyan). Theistic Satanism worships Satan, and is probably responsible for the majority of the stigma attached to the word Satanism.

Sigh Christians are so thick as a brick. Its not worshipping Satan just because of the word "Satan" is in the religion.
Anyway God is more evil than Satan.

Satan is evil

13 Buddhism

Buddhism is not a religion. It is a philosophy and is basically the common facts of life. Being Buddhist is an amazing experience and unlike other cultures, the rules are not hard to do. They are just simple rules of morality like not to kill or lie. Also, Buddhism co exists with all our scientific information and supports science. After all, the Buddha was one of the greatest scientists of all time. Besides beliefs about reincarnation, there is nothing supernatural about Buddhism and everything is based on real life experiences and there aren't any biased opinions. I am not saying other cultures are bad but I don't understand why this is placed on the list.

In the West, what is perpetuated as "Buddhism" is more like the diet, caffeine-free version of Buddhism. It's not what most Buddhists are like. -- If it were, I really couldn't say anything bad about Buddhism at all. Unfortunately, real (religious) Buddhists, especially over in the East, are just as intolerant, biased, and hateful as any other religious group. It's not somehow immune to it simply because of the Western trend of cutesy books, wall decor, jewelry, and self-help gurus, who happen to attach themselves to Buddhism. Unfortunately, many people fail to understand that this Western version of Buddhism is mostly a watered-down, irreligious version of what Buddhism actually is to the majority of its practitioners.

14 Jehovah's Witnesses

We are very, happy, people and we always remain positive towards people because we care about people and want them to have a wonderful and safe life. Most importantly, we go door to door not to disturb or argue down people. We do it out of love because we recognize the horrible conditions in this world and we want to give people motivation that they are not alone. Also, if God loves people, then it is not possible that he is ruling this earth according to all the bad problems many face today. We only show people a true promise that god has a new kingdom where there will be peaceful conditions. Also, we will all be perfect people doing only right things. I personally look forward to the resurrection hope where everyone can see their dead loved ones alive again. Such a wonderful promise God has for people today who want to know more about him!

First off, don't hate us just because you claim we "hate gays." We respect the people, but we don't support the subject of being gay. There's no law saying I have to be gay or support them. Gays can be gay, just stop telling me to accept you. Because if they decide to be gay and claim that they're happy no matter what anyone says, then why are they trying so hard to be accepted? Why does there have to be a law put in place for gay marriage? Just do what you want and accept us witnesses, because it's hypocritical to try to make us accept the subject of gay rights and for you all to call us haters and not accept our beliefs.

15 Jainism

Jainism in top ten in this list? There has to be some technical glitch. You can't so much hate a religion (with a tiny population) which has NOT a single incidence of rioting in its 3000 years old history, is atheistic by philosophy and is so much against violence that it calls upon its followers to shun any form of violent resistance and killing animals (EVEN for food).

Well I am a Jain and I would love to share some of my thoughts with you all. Jainism is all about NON VIOLENCE. Ahimsa Parmo Dharma meaning Non violence is the only religion. It's all about being human. don't you think being human its our responsibility to keep our earth and mother earth safe. Jainism is all about loving this earth, fire, air, water. You know people may find this hilarious but even wasting of water unnecessarily is prohibited in our religion, we can't waste electricity because we believe everything has its life and we should preserve and protect everything as much as possible. Water, air, fire, mud, trees all are considered ek indri jeev meaning an orgainsm with a single sense organ. Our religion is very scientific too use of unfiltered water is prohibited, eating food after sunset is prohibited and this is scientifically proven that food that we eat at night actually brngs several health issues because the level of microorganisms and impurities rises after sunset. Well there is much more. We love everyone but yes I personally hate blood shed whether it's of a human being or any other animal. I am an animal n nature lover and strongly believes in karma, if I m hurting nature m hurting God this my philosophy being Jain I have realised this. I hope you people would like this philosophy of loving and helping each other but yes we are strongly against animal killings and merciless rituals.

16 Zionism

Trying to take over the world, creating hate in every religion. Killing innocent people and children when they should know better after what happened in Germany. They create wars for no reason other than material and power. They fabricated 911.

Should be higher! The fanatic form of judaism. And like any fanatic group or organisation, fanatic ideals and dangerous in their irrationallity. They're so fanatic that they don't care or respect any form of other belief!

This isn't really a religion.
It's a movement of people who love Israel.

Zionism has negative influence in Western politics,
and they cause some problems to Muslims.
But the Jews do deserve a country.

17 Bahá'í Faith

Actually the Baha'I faith encompasses Jesus and Muhammad. And Baha'is don't brainwash you. They actually respect other religions and believe in questioning the Baha'I faith and other faiths as well.

18 Raëlism

They jerk off all the time, and are sex maniacs.

19 LaVeyan Satanism

This cult is more outright blasphemy than Catholicism.

"Welcome to the Hotel California..."

20 Sunni Islam

They are all peace and their pretty much the normal Muslims who fast,pray, and are pretty much the purest people you'll ever meet.

21 Taoism

I've studied Daoism (another, also correct spelling) for many years. The original text, the Dao De Jing, is a beautiful philosophical text that's still very relevant today. I don't know that any other text has had as much of a positive impact on me -- and it's really not religious at all. The more religious Daoist texts came later in history and don't appeal to me -- including those referred to as alchemy texts -- but, I find it very interesting that this isn't where Daoism started. It was really very philosophical to begin with. People seemed to turn it into a religion, but the irony is, the original text was explicitly against that sort of knowledge/behavior system. The original text also is more about describing reality and trends in existence and life, than putting forth rules you should follow, etc. So, it's very non-judgmental (if you're going by the original text). In that respect, I'd say it's quite unique. I also think it says everything that after studying world religions for more than fifteen years, this is the one I found the most humanity and honesty in. -- And it wasn't for a lack of options.

22 Jedi

Very sad they got nearly wiped up - several times! They are severely hated by their sister religion of the Sith.

Yep. Some Star Wars fanatics actually made Jedi into a real religion. Look it up and you'll see what I mean.

How did this "become" a religion its literaly derived from a movie did a bunch of star wars die hards come up with this.

23 The Members Church of God International

There are reasons:

1) Their leader is a coward,homosexual and libelous preacher.
2) Their funds are usually skimmed through concerts.
3) Their teachings are so false and full of contradictions.
4) They are just branch of a corrupt tree.
5) Their Guinness Record is a large and epic lie. Most "choir singers" are not singers at all.
6) Sexual deviants disguised as holy men.

The ministers or even the leader of this cult always challenge Iglesia ni Cristo in a debate and when INC accepted their challenge they will say "we did not say that we want a debate with Iglesia ni Cristo". For example

Soriano (leader of the cult): I challenge all(of course including the pastors of INC) the pastors in luneta.
INC: CALL!
Soriano: I never mentioned that I challenge Iglesia ni Cristo.

Soriano: Admit that you want a debate and I will answer you.
INC Minister: CALL! FOR A PRE DEBATE CONFERENCE!
Soriano: Did I ever say I want to debate with the Church(Church of Christ/Iglesia Ni Cristo)? I didn't said that!

and many more...

24 Seventh Day Adventist

SDAs don't only pray on Saturday, we pray everyday, we only hold worship on Saturday, the seventh day, the LORD's day (Is 58:13-14), because this is the day Jesus Christ declared Himself the Lord of (Mt 12:8; Mk 2:27-28). From Hebrews 3:7-4:11, Paul declared that the 7th day remains (4:9), this after being taken up to the throne of God. Mt 5:17-20, James 2:8-12, and Rev 22:14 all state that only those who keep all 10 Commandments will enter the city. The 4th Commandment makes clear the only day God communes with His church while Dan 7:25 reveals that the 4th beast (Rome) would attempt to change the Law of God. Sun-day is the pagan day of "sun" worship, the pope's day; he being the high priest of all the pagan religions (pontificus maximus). On March 7th AD321, the papacy secretly changed Sabbath to Sunday through Constantine while he claimed that he wanted all in his kingdom to keep the same day of rest. Pagans kept Sunday while Jews and Christians naturally kept the Sabbath. They fabricated a tale saying the Lord appeared in the sun, on Sunday, and told Constantine to conquer in this sign: 'In Hoc Signu' (I h s), which the Bible condems. As devout Protestants, we don't worship the pope, Mary, saints or any other "created" being; nor do we consider their authority while it plainly contradicts the Scriptures. If it's not in the Bible, we don't do it. The true "historic" Seventh-day Adventists are the "People of the Book"; Jesus Christ's remnant church, and the only ones who can make this claim... This salvation issue of Sabbath vs Sunday will be the cause of slaughter in the final hours of earth's history and anyone who is not sealed by that time will recieve the Mark of the beast.

25 Tengrism

One of the most stupidest religions ever existed.
They litterally believed that they were relatives of a wolf that mated with a male human.

That I don't know
