Controversy... Society at large.
We live in a world, a society of people, that has been born into controversy, and taught & raised to judge, condemn, prejudice, persecute, and even kill others that think & believe differently. And as societies developed, people separate into groups made different by ethnic origins and different beliefs... each proclaiming righteousness while condemning others. Religions have claimed millions of lives in the name of religion righteousness. Hundreds of religions all claiming to be true & righteous, yet all having gravely negative effect on society. Religions that in many cases have contradictory teachings and as society evolved, picked and choosed what teachings to believe and follow. But all condemning others that believe differently. Which in itself is contradictory to their own teachings. But that's okay... pick and choose.
They say never talk about religion or politics less controversy will result. Politics inherently has its many faults. But world religions is the ultimate source of controversy.
So I guess this post is clearly controversial. You should never bring up religion as anything but good. A rational examination of religions yields a much darker side that infects society. Divides people. Crestes prejudice. All claiming to be righteous. Clearly there's a problem here.

Condemning others that don't conform to what religious beliefs claim is right. Sorry... It's wrong. But its an accepted part of life. Why?
And while many people see religions as completely good, and perhaps lead their life that way... they follow under the banner, the beliefs, the judgment & condemnation of others by those religions.
So yes... I have... and we all should have a problem with religious beliefs that judge, condemn, prejudice, and persecution others. An individuals personal feelings aside, though they be good, if they support religions that judge & persecute others, then they support that belief.

The bottom line... There's those that can think for themselves...
And those that don't...
but believe and follow others that tell you what to believe,
who to hate, who to persecute,
and to condemn anyone that believes differently.
