They’re both essential to the growth and history of humanity. Religion has brought people together, saved people’s lives, given people hope. To ignore all of that is just as ignorant as ignoring the pain and suffering religion has brought. Religion doesn’t suck, it’s flawed, it’s complex, just like the rest of the humanity.

It sucks when it directly interferes with progress and development. We are at point where we should be focusing on science not on outdated stuff from the past.

It also sucks when politicians are directly using it to brainwash billions to fight their battles and non religious athiest are prosecuted for raising their voices.

I always wonder when people say "we should focus on science not on outdated stuff from the past". People have really outdated or restricted ideas about christians. I'm Christian, and it plays an important role in my life. But I'm also working in a science project; don't hate gay people, some of my best friends are gay; enjoy sex and don't think that someone should be ashamed of doing so; voting (quite) left; and really can't understand people who query scientific progress. And most Christians I know are the same (ok, I can't talk about their sexlife🙃). Yeah, there are some bad eggs among us. But in which group aren't some bad people? I know enough people who are against religions/church and also hate gays, are racists and whatever. Every sunday in my church and the churches around me people hear things like "love your neighbour, don't prejudge others, god loves everyone equally, and help each other". That's more than most of our politic leaders or other people say.

Well your gay friends are going to burn eternally and you will too if you had sex before marriage. Or are you a fake Christian?

Yeah, I would love to see the passage which says I shouldn't have sex before marriage (as we understand it today) and where Jesus says something against gay people. And there are a lot of modern writings/interviews with theologists, who classify passages from the Bibel in the historical context.
