You mean the belief system people invented? I think I’m allowed to generalize humanity, especially when there’s scientific basis supporting it.

Exactly. But the hatred wouldn’t. It’s just a cover.

I'm simply saying that your criticism in that post was meaningless.

People are allowed to criticize a belief system that has historical track record of motivating otherwise decent people to think and act in reprehensible ways because of their belief that a supreme being expects it. Beliefs inform opinions and actions. What you believe about a stove being hot will inform your action of not touching the element. What you believe about a person's actions and the consequences of those actions will inform your opinions of and actions toward that person.

You're within your rights to criticize adherents of these belief systems too.

You need to watch Start Trek V. Spock's brother highjacked the Enterprise to visit God who apparently lives at the center of the galaxy. God asked how they got there, found out about starships, and asked for it. To which Kirk issued the famous line, "What does God need with a starship?"

Spoiler!

There is no God.
