It has nothing to do with your mythical religious dogmas.
Top-posting is quite irritating in any situation where the 
question is at all complex - has more than one sentence.
It makes the thread more difficult to follow and tends to
lead to the thread getting lost and the discussion drifting
on to unrelated things and even flames rather thanhandling
the problem.
