The fact that these people justify such hate with a religion whose founder said its essence was to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself" proves your assertion that they're using human constructs dressed in holy garb to justify themselves.

That is exactly the blindness for which Christ condemned the Pharisees.
