Religion does not make people kind all the time, if it did, there would be no fear of minorities. But xenophobia exists. My X is Japanese, but even the Japanese, while they love being hosts and having guests they too frown upon outsiders mixing with their families. Not because they are Japanese, but because evolution has produced group survival. It is the same reason this former Muslim was bullied by Buddhists. Same reason Muslims bully non Muslims in the east. Same reason right wing Christians bully non Christians in the west. Religion does not cure this behavior. Only our awareness of our nature will do that.
