Hating hate and being bigoted against bigotry is paradoxical, and is really just a problem of our language that delivers the genuine haters' their goal of tautological debate and stalemate.

Religions and greed are the sperm and egg of most hate, lubricated by ignorance and human propensities to "join" an ilk.

That is not to say all or even most religions and even "spiritual " enterprises and quests lead to hate. But those "some" religious movements account for or enable most of the hate historically expressed. Certainly not all genocides and hate crimes were religious in nature, but religion has historically done much to keep the masses ignorant, fearful. and non-skeptical of power in human hierarchy.
