I believe that religion is strictly personal and that there should be no men who are given power to feed their interpretations of god to large amounts of followers.
As long as your religion does not involve the wholesale sacrifice of human infants, or something along those lines, you should be free to practice it, and, more importantly, you should follow personal beliefs more readily than you follow the words of your nearest pastor/rabbi/sheik/etc.
The Bible is also a bad thing for personal freedom of religion, it leads too many to accept too much without thought. An intelligent person can read the Bible and, for him, it can be a good thing. But too many people take the Bible at face value, especially seeing as how many contradictions exist, especially between the old and new testaments.
