Most of the people here who talk about religion have a VERY negative view. The people who don't feel obliged to talk about it typically view religion only a little more negatively than a taste for country music and a little less negatively than a taste for WWE wrestling.

WWE wrestling, poorly choreographed though it is, shows far better taste than religion. I rank country music generally in third, though there are shining exceptions (much of Hank Williams, for example).

More seriously: I have a very low opinion of religion (a little more negatively than 9/11 conspiracy propagation, a little less negatively than multi-level marketing schemes) but I rarely talk about religion on Less Wrong, because I've just gotten very tired of having arguments on the Internet about religion.
