Yep, countries like China have plenty of hate and they're not religious. Take away religion and the hate is still there.

I didn’t say hate didn’t exist outside religion. That would be your cognitive leap. I said religion is used to attempt to legitimize hate as belief so it can be protected from scrutiny on some levels.

Good people do good things. Bad people do bad things. But for good people to do bad things takes religion. Or something along those lines
