I am getting sick of people attributing every natural disaster to a religious purpose.

On any natural disaster video or article, you can find a response with a religious context. The most common ones are things like, "This is proof of God and of Jesus. Repent!" etc.

I think it is entirely disrespectful of religion to just step in to the most traumatic times and squeeze their beliefs in. It is entirely rude to exploit the deaths of others for your ideologies.

The world will rotate and shit will happen regardless if there is a God or not. Even a fundamentalist will say that, in a world without God, a lot of shit happens. Guess what? A lot of shit happens either way then.

Let me just exemplify why I find this so rude of religion;

Imagine your cousin died in a natural disaster.

You mourn and arrange a funeral.

At your funeral, religious people come to say, "Oh, your cousins death is the result of Jesus' second coming. Come to our church next."

Then, the funeral minister says, "This poor soul died in the name of Jesus. Let us all repent and give prayer to God for this child."

Then, we mention the death in public and another person of remotely religious intent would say, "Oh God bless us, the lord has taken him in the name of his second coming."

I am getting sick of deaths being exploited and violated for religious purposes.

I donate money to foundations to help people! NOT RELIGION!

I am sick of religions greedy bloody hands stealing money out of charities going for those in need!

I am sick of religious people standing at the feet of my dead loved ones and preaching to me!

I am sick of religious people pontificating that every mundane event, and every miraculous event, must prove God!

I am sick of religion denigrating research, education, and the individual rights of others!

Religion has been one of the most offensive things I have ever encountered! I cannot think of anything worse than explicit murder and rape! Except that some (arguably all) religions condone it!

If I can accomplish anything in life, it would be to add a brick into the wall of eternal imprisonment that religion deserves!
