Faith is an excuse to be a stupid fucking asshole.

New York Times - Mostly some bullshit called "How We View and Experience Faith".

The only paragraph that made sense:

A secular person is much more likely to feel anger or frustration not because of what the fundamentalist religious person believes, but because of what religious beliefs drive that person to do. Suicide bombings, denying civil rights, exporting fear and loathing to other countries, bombing abortion clinics, “honor killings,” elimination of accurate science in education — these are examples of toxic behaviors with broad impact that have been justified by religious faith.
