Christianity isn't gay and trans hate.

That's correct, gay and trans hate come from conservatism

White supremacy isn't black hate.

That's not correct, it stems from justifying chattel slavery

At what point in history have religions benefited humanity? I have only ever seen countless wars and genocides on behalf of it. When does it get to the part where we help the unfortunate?

Religion itself has benefitted countless people, from promoting general welfare to giving solace to those who experience the death of loved ones.

Wars and genocides don't happen because of religion. They happen because of resource accumulation, otherwise known as primitive accumulation prior to the rise of capital accumulation. Religion is co-opted by the powers-at-be as a galvanizing force. Christianity wasn't the cause of the crusades, European powers aim to acquire the riches of the middle east was.

You're showing a reactionary attitude towards religion. I've seen reactionary atheists have just as violent attitudes as what they claim to oppose, justifying islamphobia or antisemitism as simply anti-religion, or even going as far are justifying nuking the middle east.

Judaism isn't Zionism, it just fostered and fomented it.

Also not true, Zionism has roots in secularism. It is a fascist project. The religious aspect was wielded only as much as it's usefulness for convincing more people to join the project. Additionally, the vast majority of Zionists are Christian Zionists. Same with Christian nationalism, it is the Conservatism that is the root of the violence and hate, not the religion. In fact, they intentionally ignore every aspect of the religion that is incongruent with their fascist aims.

The same as white supremacy was fostered by Christianity.

Again you've got it backwards, white supremacists twisted religion to justify their white supremacy. In fact white supremacy is more rooted in scientific racism. Which was again, used to justify chattel slavery and the eradication of the 'subhuman' natives.

I can hate the cause of problems as well as the problems themselves. It's not my fault or problem you can't connect the dots.

Except you're not genuinely interested in the root cause. You're just generalizing it as religion itself out of a reactionary attitude.
