With all the respect i can muster, you are the one misunderstanding religion’s purpose.
They are not.
If organized religion ever helps humanity at all it is through the good people it inspires to help, the good part of humanity it brings out. The people who focus on that aspect of its tenets would always be good.

The cancer is organized religion. There is no bad apple within its core to root, it is itself the problem.
and while the world will never be rid of its mind stifling influence, i will never stop dreaming of the shining day we grow beyond it

Atheists can hate gays too.
You can treat cancer, religion is a parasite that needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.
