Although I respect those who apply the morals and virtues of religion I absolutely hate those who are blinded by it, and those who would KILL in the name of God because their religious leader tells them to.

Well that was kinda Angry's point. It is the fault of individuals and groups who pervert the message of God's love into a message of hate, not the original message of love. Just because some have perverted the message or used the power of religion to justify or accomplish their own selfish ends, that does not change the underlying truth of the original message.
I have not seen the movie that started this thread. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It is clear that it is a depiction of a group that has truly perverted Christ's message of love. That, however, is a story as old as christianity itself.
