You have a good point about there not being a word for hating a religion. So, I propose a new term: "Theophobia", discrimination against a group of people for their religious views.
As for my views, I'm a rather ardent Christian, though some of my views on particular issues do alienate me from the rest of the church (To be fair, Jesus suffered from the same problem).
As for religion in general, I consider religious organizations, even ones with views I disagree with (Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, ect), as a necessary part of civilization. You simply cannot underestimate the power of religion, and I believe the groups that have tried to harness that power have mostly used it for the betterment of mankind.
Also, I tend to think that a religious extremist without religion is still an extremist, and now doesn't even have religion to restrain them, as a religious extremist at least limits himself to perceived enemies of his religion.
I'm usually all for gender equality, but the problem with modern feminism is that they seem to hate everything I like and like everything I hate.
For example, many of them hate video games and such for making their male characters "Male empowerment fantasies" and their female characters "Male sexual fantasies"...even in situations where men and women are shown to be equally badass. Thing is, I LIKE most of these games they rant against.

And then there's the more radical feminists who try to make the pro-life movement out to be filled with sexists or say that men can't have an opinion on abortion. I do not wish to argue about abortion here, but as a very pro-life man, I cannot in good conscience align myself with these types of people.

And then there's the final issue of feminists who try to blame all of women's problems on some sort of 'patriarchy'. I see this as being a sort of 'self-victimization', when someone artificially makes themselves look a victim of persecution in order to reap the benefits. Lord knows every major political movement does this, but I think feminists are a particularly egregious example. Back to the video game example, it seems very difficult to actually present a female character that feminists like.
Hale says "Sorry, I'll be fine. We have a saying in the US army-if you aren't scared, you aren't paying attention."
He allows himself to calm down a little and says "Sorry, I'm just...worried, is all. Plenty of soldiers on D-day prayed as well. Many of them never made it back, either. War's won through sacrifice, not survival."
bump.
Adam Hale recites the whole "valley of the shadow of death" speech in prayer, and then gulped and prayed for the souls of his teammates who have died and will die. He's actually starting to tear up. He says "Alright, alright.", breathing heavily. He's not quite panicking, but he's visibly terrified. He says "So are we landing or parachuting in? And how close will we be to the enemy?"
What gender(s) do you play?
Aaron was already in class. He was used to waking up early. In fact, he seemed to be overly prepared for school. His notebook was already out, he was already prepared to take notes. He was also a bit too well dressed for this occasion. He was wearing a black khaki pants, and a black button up shirt. Over it was a grey, unbuttoned vest. At the right-hand side of the desk was a mocha. He hoped the teacher wouldn't mind. He wasn't entirely sure what this particular teacher's policy on that sort of thing was. But, in a pinch he could just down it.
Hale shrugs. He turns to Sienna. "I think they're fine."
He then asks "Will you be needing any help? Otherwise, I think we should be on our way."
blip.
Adam says "Collect Data?"
Now he feels these two are suspicious. He says "What kind of data?"
Part of him feels he shouldn't be held up, what with lives at stake, but his primary duty as a provost was security.
