Isn´t easier to just say religious conservative sects/cults and denominations have a history of racism, human trafficking, sexual abuse and paedophilia ?
Apportioning blame according to their book or choice of clothing is futile since each is responsible for dreadful atrocities and often against each other.

Does it matter that evangelicals hate the TFP ? Or that the TFP hate the Taliban ? They all hate atheists and each other.
Hate is how they recruit. Hate is how they claim righteousness and virtue.
Love, decency, empathy, kindness are weak words, the words of liberals. While Irish liberal clergy built schools and hospitals as part of the missionary orders, gave cover to the conservatives committing the atrocities.
On this board we see the pillars of religious conservatism being preached, misogyny, bigotry and hate. We just don´t know what brand of religious conservatism and we should wonder why.
