I think of religion as 'organised spiritual society' with its own set of rules and regulations. Those who 'hate' usually disagree with them for whatever reason.
I'm not saying that atrocities haven't been committed in the name of religion, but that is fanaticism and to condemn a whole religion due to the rise of a fanatical element, does it no justice whatsoever.
One may even go as far as to say 'the dogma/scriptures/rules are fanatical in themselves' but this is why religions are thus secular and orthodox. They have intolerance because yes, religion is intolerant full stop. It is to protect the sanctity of its teachings against external influence and corruption and so the whole teachings are lost.
This is it, this is why and nothing more.
