If a person believes in God and that God created everything, including people, how can that person hate another race but still love God and all he does?
This isn't to say all religious people are racist, I'm simply talking about the theoretical lack of logic.

1. It does beggar belief. However there are organised Christian religions that are racist, and plenty of examples.
2. In the USA there are churches closely linked to the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis.
(i) Kingdom Identity Ministries

(ii) The Creativity Movement / The World Church of the Creator

3. In South Africa, the Dutch Reformed Church did not consider apartheid to be racism, but rather "an extension of rightful love of one's own people and one's own cultural values". This view was at odds with that of the worldwide Reformed churches.

4. Even the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) taught that black people were sub-human, up until the late 1970s.

Although there are those who vehemently deny that Mormons were any more racist than other white people at any point in time.
