...this really, it's the person themselves and their leaning to how they want to interpret, rather than a faith or religion itself ...if someone is prejudice/intolerant/judgemental/hate-filled etc...they would be that anyway, regardless of whether they had religion in their lives or not because it's just them and their focus in life and in their hearts and the same with the opposite as well..people are not good people because of a religion and being 'Christians' or anything, they're just good people regardless, who happen to have a faith ....'God says I need to hate these people' is just a need to find a justification for hate....but that 'justification' would always be something...
