I’ll look at this with a different spin. Hatred, love, anger, kindness, are all ways that human beings can bond with each other. When people are together, sharing the same emotions toward a particular subject, they will become closer. Hatred, can actually bring people together, and make people become great friends. Religious groups, anti-religious groups, terrorists, racists, people who hate a certain politician, you name it. Many people on here, want to gather together out of hatred, anger, pleasure, comradery, or laughter and enjoyment with regards to religion. Of course, most people don’t hate religious people, but they hate or are angry with religion, and they get enjoyment from talking about it, or making fun of it. I know I do. I’m not perfect. The beliefs are ridiculous, and you’d have to be indoctrinated or stupid to believe them. I make fun of religion, and so do others. I’ll make fun of the religious person too, if they are making fun of me for pointing at facts. I’ll only do that if the person is being dishonest, arrogant, or a dick first. At least, I let go of hatred a long time ago. I had hatred within me when I was in religion ironically, but not really anymore.
In my opinion, people need to be called out on certain things, because it’s detrimental to them, and others around them.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
