Religion doesn't pollute any more good people than fantasy football does. It might justify already "off" people or have a tendency to attract the morally and intellectually weak, but very few religions preach hatred from the pulpit. Hatred breeds hatred and intolerance breeds intolerance, to the OP, anti-theists (while I'm sure perfectly justified or not) just feed fuel to the fire.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
