I agree with G on this.

It is not religions fault.
Religion is an easy cop out for egocentric people.

In fact since I got the Higher Power bug I have been teaching less hate to my children.

I tell them things like:

You’re the best “insert name” in the whole wide world.

I love all the parts of you.
The good NAME,
The sneaky NAME,
and even the smelly parts.
They get a kick out of the last one, they laugh so hard.

I also have been telling them that this is MOM’s and DAD’s first time at being a parent and we are trying our best but we will make mistakes too.

I learned all this from religous readings.
