Well, Kant poses his categorical imperative to individuals... so the answer could vary. What one person sees as universally benefitting mankind someone else would see as detrimental. For instance... free will. A person is considering whether to restrict a child's freedom in order to "protect" him or her. We throw that idea into the categorical imperative, considering whether it is UNIVERSALLY better to restrict freedom in favor of "protection." Some would say yes, if it allowed more happiness or freedom from terrorism or pain. Others would say no... freedom is more important than the risk of pain, and it is the only thing that allows us to continue learning, and growing into a potential well beyond anything we could achieve with restricted freedom. So, in presenting his categorical imperative to people rather than relying on a "universal truth," he can be seen to be subjective.

Why are discussions about religion considered contronversial?

Many religions have a missionary imperative, which is to say, they ask their members to go out and convert everyone from other religions. Many people find conversations about religion with missionaries very awkward because, in part, the missionary isn't so much interested in your religion as they are in changing it -- this can lead to very one-sided conversations.
