"As far as religion itself, I suppose that I see it do so much active harm in the world. "

My father rejected organized religion utterly, and could be considered an "orthodox agnostic". And I do take some offense at the incessant fundamentalist attacks on a civil secular society that values self-determination. They tend to abuse the 1st Amendment right to freedom of religion, but only for their own, but unwilling to extend that same courtesy to other faiths, or lack of adherence to any particular church.
