There is a video out there that tries to make a case for hating religion while at the same time loving Jesus. There is nothing necessarily new in that message, just the way it is presented is captivating and many people probably like it.

However, the message is wrong, because to say that we hate religion does not produce good will among men, and complete lack of religion never created a happy society.

Moreover, the author of the video does not understand that Jesus in fact established a church when he lived on this earth, and Jesus does not hate religion. If it is true that in the name of religion many atrocities have been committed, it is also true that many great things have been done because of religion. So, the problem is not “religion” but what we do in its name, and I think that the good things done in its name still outweigh the wrong one (but they are usually less glamorous).

The following video is a Mormon or LDS reply to that video, Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus. I prefer this one
