Obviously a lot of manifestations of religion are reactionary, but a blanket opposition to all religiosity and disdain for religious people seems pretty western chauvinist.
I grew up in an evangelical household where I was taught that I was constantly at serious risk of burning in hell for eternity, and I went through my edgy nu-atheist phase as a teen, but you need to grow out of that shit; it's disrespectful to act like anyone who believes in any God is the same thing as the reactionary cult that you grew up beholden to.
