It just seems boring, tedious, and doesn't accomplish much, if not impeding progress itself. When someone tells me they're religious, my first impression is someone who doesn't have their head screwed on straight.

Honestly, you need to read some religious texts. Even if you're not swayed into belief, there is a lot of humanity (both good and bad) in the way religious doctrine is set out.
Just because I don't believe in a deity doesn't mean I can't get something from the words of people who do (or the deity himself, if I'm wrong).
If (as it should or may have been) these religious books were written as a guide to help say teenagers learn to do the right thing (at that time), then what a great idea. The problem is that those kids became adults and STILL thought it was true!
These religious 'words' are dangerous to all people (children and adults) because they do not have good intentions at all. They teach fear and prejudice. They also state that if you don't believe then your afterlife will be hell. That's a bit much!
Some of the words 'may' be good, but in total and what they stand for is BAD. By the way, there happens to be more bad than good in them anyway! What part is good? Thou shalt not kill? We are doing that everyday in wars, generally the soldiers tend to be Christian (and Islam on the other side) likely because they're scared out of their minds of dieing!
The words aren't all bad, religion is.
I find it very difficult to hear a religion like this condemned as "bad".
