O you who acknowledge, do not forbid the good things that God has made lawful to you, and do not transgress; God does not like the transgressors.

[5:87] The Quran condemns those who decree laws in the name of God as the worst people. Throughout history, Perverse used clergymen of all sorts as his favorite tool to fight against God's system by introducing a myriad of man-made rules and prohibitions in the name of God. They turned God's system into a theo-fiction consisting of superstitions, collections of silly rituals, frivolous rules, absurd doctrines, numerous prohibitions, opium of masses, intellectual slavery and wishful thinking. See 6:21,145; 7:17,30,31,37; 42:21.
