Read the sentence borrowed from one of the blog posts:
'...Then why do some people vehemently object any belief?...'
The underlined word-combination is used incorrectly.
When we use the verb 'to object'in the meaning of 'be against', we must use the preposition 'to'. So, the phrase is 'to object to something' and the corrected version of the sentence is:
'...Then why do some people vehemently object to any belief?'
