Kant wanted to save religion from the scientific revolution. Strike one.

He developed a philosophy which attempts to undermine the scientific method by discrediting the evidence of the senses. Strike two.

He gave new life to religion by claiming to find evidence for the supernatural (the "moral law") within his own consciousness. Strike three.

Kant saved religion from the scientific revolution. For that, I consider him to be the most evil man in history. He was truly an evil genius if ever there was one.

His morality consisted of irrational commands from nowhere. Or "duty" as he called it. If you want to read something infuriatingly nonsensical, you really can't beat Kant.

I own Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Judgement. You're absolutely right - it's a load of absolute nonsense. He writes ridiculously long and complicated sentences which mean nothing. I'll give some examples a bit later.
