The typical most hated religion in the world. I love it.
Hardly anyone hates Islam, it's just that the Islamic way of life isn't meant to be for anybody who doesn't happen to be a primitive nomadic tribesman. Right?

I live in America where I have a President who literally Tweets how much he hates Muslims and I assure you he has enough followers. In any case it just increases my faith.Hardly anyone hates Islam, it's just that the Islamic way of life isn't meant to be for anybody who doesn't happen to be an ancient nomadic tribesman. Right?

The story of Trump hating all Muslims is Fake News. Truly, Trump has never tweeted out any hatred towards Muslims; in fact, Trump merely believes Islam hates America.

You're one of the fake news people? lol.
Was it fake all the videos (hating Muslims) he tweeted on his twitter himself?
Of course he chants Muslims hate America. That's how he gets his American followers to hate Muslims.
Hate is a big word. I am not even sure whether beliefs in the supernatural even deserve to be hated. They look funny, but hate might be a bit too much.
I don't hate any religion. And I give the same amount of respect to all of them. The one they objectively deserve.

I live in the heartland of America where most are Trump supporters, and there is no significant hatred towards the small local Muslim community here; I happen to drive by a mosque on a weekly basis; this mosque standing for many decades has never been vandalized. There's also never been any hate crimes done against the small little Muslim community whereby I and thousands of my fellow Trump supporters work and live.

So, that one Mosque and one little Muslim town of all of your community proves Islam isn't the most hated religion. When strictly in this thread even you said Islam was your most hated religion?I live in the heartland of America where most are Trump supporters, and there is no significant hatred towards the small local Muslim community here; I happen to drive by a mosque on a weekly basis; this mosque standing for many decades has never been vandalized.

Ok.

Somewhat political rant:
This last statement, in itself, is proof that Trump is Islamophobic. It's not fair to draw such a wide generalization about such a massively diverse group of people. It speaks to a belief that they are so different from him and so homogeneous that they don't need to be examined as individuals.
There are Muslims who hate America, but they are few and far between in my experience. I've traveled to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Tunisia (all majority Muslim nations, besides Israel which has a significant Muslim minority) and never encountered any hostility for being American. I was even in Jordan during the end of Ramadan and stayed for the Eid celebration in Amman and had a wonderful time. Most decent people regardless of creed or nationality are able to separate the government from the individual and treat you as a fellow human being before anything else.
The real enemy is ignorance (which Trump happily peddles to anyone who will listen to his ill-informed, nonsensical, and hateful rhetoric). When people don't understand and don't care to understand people with different beliefs than them, they begin to identify them as a vague "other". Once that happens, it's easy to demonize members of that group and eventually be convinced that they are your enemies and deserve your hatred.
/end of political rant.
I don't hate any religion on the whole. As someone with an avid love for history, I'm sometimes very frustrated with the historical tendency of Christianity and Islam to wipe out the beliefs and practices of those they conquer (often through violent means). As others have said, if you're willing to use your religion as justification to harm another person, then you're in the wrong. Period. I also believe that the doctrine of Original Sin is very harmful to our psyches, as is the rhetoric of eternal punishment/reward. I don't much care for any god that needs to use fear tactics to get his point across.
But I don't blame Christian or Muslim people for that. And I do my best to understand their views and beliefs. I love RF because it gives such a diverse group of people from all around the world the opportunity to converse and learn from others that they would normally never have the opportunity to talk to. But I don't think spreading hate helps anyone.

Fundamentalism (regardless of the particular flavor).
Though 'strongly dislike' is probably a better phrase than 'hate'.

Hate is a very strong word and I don't think I hate any religion; I hate the unfair influence of Christianity in my country.
The 'daftest' religions are the most recently created ones such as Scientology and Mormonism. To an atheist these are obviously totally bogus money making mind controlling schemes. But hate...no I don't hate them
Consumerism.
