Plato had some distinctly authoritarian ideas, IIRC. I prefer Aristotle by a mile.

What was the Aztec religion called - you know, the one with the human sacrifice? Probably doesn't bump any of the larger, longer-lived religions, but may deserve (dis)honorary mention.

Good GOD!!!

My utmost sympathies to you!

When it comes down to it, no religion is bad unless it is taken to extreme. Unfortunately, through the ages most religions have been afflicted by the curse of fanaticism. Of course, communist fanatics are just as bad as religious ones. As are lesbian ones, capatilist ones, gun-loving ones, or any other type.

Fanatics are fanatics, and should be shot on sight

The worst religion is the Cult of Comparison, wherein the followers think everything can be listed, ranked, compared, and arbitrarily declared good, bad, right, wrong or what not based on the whims of the judge and subjective morality.
