Stop saying "religion" when you mean "a particular religion about which I'm bitter"

Maybe your intent was to sound sophisticated, cynical, or maybe you just want to smart off.

The result, however, is far from your intent:

The point? Go ahead and diss whatever it is you're bitter about--but don't stereotype whatever it is, or assume your experience has brought you an understanding above everyone else's. The moment you rant on religious close-minded delusional people is the moment you get the religious open-minded witty and ready-to-rip-on-you people on your back.
