Does anyone here believe in God but hate religion?

Yes, Hashem hates "religion" in the sense that NotReady has already brought up, so believers in Yeshua as the Messiah ought to "hate religion" too.
I'll be stepping in a lot of toes in what follows....
Roman Catholicism: wrong of these "fathers" to change the times as prophesied by Daniel: specifically, e.g., Easter for Pesach and even Sunday for Shabbat! They even threw out quartodecimanists because of antisemitism! Thanks to the "fathers", Xmas and Easter, essentially paganism packaged in "Christianity", are prevalent "holidays" in the West; we may as well thank them for the modern secular calendar ( the one with Roman "gods" Julius and Augustus as well as other "gods" making up some of the names of the months ) obscuring the truth that Yeshua used a Jewish/Hebraic calendar and observed Jewish holy days. BTW, Augustine made fun of mitred hats in his City of God. Many also make fun of "transubstantiation". A clear picture is painted concerning this "whore" in the book of Revelation.
Protestantism: not every group is guilty, but this group inherited much of the "baggage" in Roman Catholicism; extreme groups are guilty of bibliolatry, making statements such as the "true church is invisible" or using terms like "true Christian". The big issue seems to be antinomianism; simply reading Yeshua's words in the correct cultural/religious context in Mt 7:21-23 or Mk 13:40-43 ( or Mt 5:17-21 ) will make it plain that the Torah is not done away with! Another common criticism is the proliferation of the number of denominations.
Eastern Orthodoxy: they may be technically on the correct side of the filioque controversy, but in no way are they the "one true Church" even if they should give the spiel about apostolic succession ( which is also a Roman Catholic claim ). A major problem is idolatry: use of icons or praying to images is clearly in violation of a "logos" of the Decalogue.
...and these are the main groups that claim to follow Yeshua as the Mashiach. What hope is there for the other "religions"?
