My only complaint on the book was the hatred of religion. He’s allowed his opinion, but that added to my general opinion that this guy doesn’t like anybody except his wife and kids.

I don't think he hates religion per se. I think his dagger-speak is directed at the early Church and churches that have continued the tradition of perverting the Bible to create the meme that we should abandon trading value for value in some cases (which they get to prescribe).

For instance 1 Timothy 5 is actually pretty clear about how charity should be given out to widows and orphans. But the early Church comes along and sets up rules that interpret scripture to enforce what are essentially shake-downs to transfer wealth. I think that's more what he's complaining about.
