"personal religion is none of my business, and those who feel they need their trust in a higher power to make sense of their lives are not the problem"

 

I agree personal religion is not a big and direct problem like the impact of religious dogma on society. However, I'm starting to think that this personal religion is still a very big problem. Comfortable religious beliefs inhibit discussion and thought around ethical issues, they encourage an 'argument from authority' approach to ethical matters, and they dampen discussion of science and reality which is currently our best way of making the world a better place.
