Agreed
Though a lot of people's thoughts on christians/muslims/fill in the blank are akin to me hating on you who enjoys a smoke, because I've lumped you in with dealers selling crack to schoolkids. Or equating junkies who swing old grannies around to rob their weekly pension money with guys who spend their own money on some smoke. Technically both are drug users, it's just one 'set' of those drug users are a bunch of cocksuckers, whereas plenty of other drug users are great people and don't try to force their shit on anyone (hi currently sober!).
It isn't that those people are religious, it's that those people are assholes. To pre-empt anyone... yes, there are lots of complete assholes that are religious, like there are a lot of complete assholes that are smokers, or black, or white, or drug users, or male, or female, or so on and so on.
Religion isn't for me, in the slightest, but the basics of religion are love & harmony, for lack of being bothered to be more succinct - because the vocal few misinterpret the analogies as literal, doesn't mean that the principles are bad
