If you hate religion, and evolution played a role in producing religion, do you also hate evolution?

You can't be serious. Using your logic I must hate my aunt, whom I adore, because I despise my cousin.

It's logic used by some atheists here. I wanted to see the reaction if I used it.

Besides I am having a go at religions how they are not how they started, I believe religions started off with good intentions that have evolved into the corrupt, money driven, backwards religions today. For the most past as not all religions and sect of religion are the same so I am not talking about a particular one, I am talking about them in general, obviously some are better than others but some of them are really not doing the rest of the religions any favors at all.

Cancer is not a process, it's a part of the natural process of evolution were is causing a bad mutation and it goes haywire, infecting everything around it.
Its like saying you hate a loan company because you did not qualify for a loan, under that loan application process.
