Critical thinking isn't anti-religion. Religion is anti-critical thinking.
Most religions specifically dissuade people from thinking critically. I recall my time in my Jesuit high school, where any questioning of the tenets were frowned upon.
The basic concept of faith is to accept something which can't be proven. It is antithetical to critical thought.
I have spent years learning about religions of the world, as I recover from my religious trauma. There are very few which truly encourage critical thought.
