>> But it does not make sense to me that there would be a successful religion that promotes hate and intolerance.

Some concepts don't make sense, yet are the foundation of some religions. Have you closely read the Old Testament ? If you find a single instance of Moses preaching love, please point it out.

Atrocities are very easy to find. The Book of Numbers is basically a boastful account of conquest and genocide.

Numbers 31:14-18
Moses was angry with the officers of the army--the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds--who returned from the battle. "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
