<p>i know it may be offensive to some people when you talk about religion but apart from that, why is it such a bad idea to write about religion?</p>

<p>Religion is a perfectly acceptable topic, so long as your essay does not paint you as an extremist. My daughter wrote about religion – or rather, her lack of religious upbringing – for her college essay and she got into Harvard. It all depends on how you handle the topic.</p>
