Why is there so much hatred in the world?

Answer 1

People have been taught to hate, mostly from religious sources, and it has been adopted under Propaganda by governments. Examples would be: * "God hates fags" (Westboro Baptist Church) although other Christians have adopted less abusive statements, but hold the same general consensus. Also see "God Hates Sweden" "God Hates the world" "God hates Finland" "God hates america" and other related sites by the Baptists (normally as godhates_country_name_.com). * Biblical quotations for hating, killing, and otherwise ostracizing anyone 'not of your religion' (too many to quote) As one given example, from the middle ages (although the tactic is still in use today) the Catholic church sent into Europe "Missionaries" that would rattle the sword (The Bible) against the leaders of the country until one converted, and then that one converted leader would be 'charged by god' to dethrone (by death) any others who opposed the new religious leadership - see King Stephen I of Hungary. In modern times they still do the same thing; for examples simply listen to any christian broadcasting station in your area (there is a current drive by them, on the radio in my area, to remove a Judge from the bench because he is openly gay-homosexual).

Take any action of hate, and break it down to its basics and you will most likely find religion is behind it.

Answer 2

Many factors contribute to the existence of hatred in the world, such as social, political, economic, and cultural differences, lack of understanding or empathy towards others, and historical conflicts. Hatred can also stem from fear, ignorance, and a desire for power or control. Promoting education, empathy, tolerance, and peaceful conflict resolution can help address and reduce hatred.
