I'm an atheist.

The flaw in your argument is in the poor analogy. In the first statement you say "don't like". In the second, you say "restrict the right to".

My answer to this question is: yes, I hate organised religion for that reason. I also hate whatever it is that causes hoodies. Both are equally bad. However in both cases I would not stop their freedom to believe short of terrorism / freedom to act like a hoodie short of violence.


"It is unfair to hate kids because a small minority are trouble-makers. Is it not unfair to hate religion because a few religious people do evil deeds in its name?"

Bad analogy again. First one you say "hate the people". Second one you say "hate the cause [religion]". To be consistent you either need to replace "kids" in the first one with "causes of hoodie culture" OR "religion" in the second one with "religious people". My answer to that would be "I hate hoodie culture not kids" AND "I hate religion not religious people".
