It's a bit of a stretch to assume that just because someone calls a good person an "angel" that the person is religious.

Religion is the cause of all of this hate

Absolutely not. Religion is a pretext for the violence that people with power already want to commit. Religion is neither necessary nor sufficient for domination of others.

and always will be.

I'm not even remotely religious or even open to religion, but there are decent religious people out there. Frankly, some Christians are comrades, much more so than some atheists. Here's an example:

And for a less radical example, see Liberation Theology.
