Just because something isn't inherently bad doesn't mean that its existence doesn't cause bad things to happen. I unironically believe that there's nothing inherently wrong with being a pedophile, but a lot of them go and diddle kids so we'd really be better off if none of them existed.
You're also throwing me into this group you hate when I'm not even religious to begin
I rarely see nonreligious people defend it with such fervor, is all. Also your "Like anything, it starts pure, and then the evil of men twists everything into a tool for their own desires." comment is peak naivety. I'd wager a large majority came to be for the purpose of personal gain, whether small or large.
The old tribe's chief that justifies any decisions with "the great spirit told me so".
The cult leader that is a reincarnation of god.
The sci-fi author that starts a religion to milk money out of people.
The nobody that suddenly had visions and became a somebody.
You're demanding hatred become a commonplace generalization, while others are just saying bad people need to stop being bad and fuck them anyway
I'm not really seeing where this "hatred" is coming from, that's not really a productive approach unless you want to create even more needless conflict. But this whole "Oh bad people just need to like, stop it dude" isn't very productive either, figuring out the cause and the tools used for these "bad people" to do "bad things" plays a pretty major role.
Any ideology with a strong enough belief system that it is able to morally justify various kinds of heinous acts is pretty dangerous, it doesn't really matter if it's not always used as such.
Anything that advocates for blind belief should be shunned, be it religious in nature or something else.
