Religion is very interesting if you actually look deeper than what you are told. I shall take two religions, Christianity and Buddhism, as my example.

Christianity (God)
Who is God and who is Jesus? If you are following the Holy Trinity idea then God=Jesus then isn't God sending himself to die for Mankind? And if God sent himself to die for us, who was he praying to when he is Jesus? If God exist as three forms, Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, then why are we praying to the Son and not to the Father?
Christianity (Schools of Christianity)
How did God die? Bled to death of by a spear? Different schools have their own teachings, and everyone claims to be the one and only true Way to Heaven.
Christianity (Bible)
Bible isn't dropped from heaven and neither is it written by Jesus, its taken from testimony written by disciples of Jesus. But not all testimonies are included into the bible, they are carefully selected so as to project Jesus in a way these holy man deemed right. Are you aware of the existence of the Testimony of Mary Magdalene and Judas? In other words, Bible is a compilation of Man's work chosen by Man.

Buddhism (Gods)
There seems to be many Gods in Heaven, you have the Kitchen God, the Earth God, Thunder God, but what happens when new equipments are made? Is there a Computer God? Or a Mp3 God? Hierarchy among the Deities are also confusing. There seem to be the Emperor and Empress of Heaven, but some how Buddha and the Goddess of Mercy are more 'powerful' than them. Powerful as in the laser-coming-out-from-plum power. There is also this rule that Deities are not suppose to fall in love with each other, but isn't the Emperor and Empress of Heaven married?
Buddhism (Schools of Buddhism)
There isn't really Schools of Buddhism. Buddhism much cover most aspects of live. Taoism is not a religion. It is a set of teachings of Ying and Yang, which I think makes a lot of sense.
Buddhism (Sutra)
Of my 18years as a Buddhist, I've never touched a Sutra before. Its in Chinese, can't read, can't understand. So I can't really say much about it. Don't even know whether it is written by God or Man. Most probably by Man I guess.
