My major issue with organized religion is that in many cases it requires you to abandon basic logic and the proven scientific studies of absolute geniuses, for the word of books that were written thousands of years ago. I beleive that these texts were created to help people cope with the simple fact that no matter what happens, you're gonna die. They also do a fairly good job of keeping people in line.
There may or may not be a higher power, whatever the case, I have no way of knowing for sure, so agnosticism is my stance on the whole subject.
