Mostly the fear part. Hate and discrimination come from the ones who use it for the wrong reasons, misinterpret the meaning, or buy into it so strongly that anyone who thinks differently becomes the enemy.

Since religion, in most parts of the world, have political ties with the local and national government the answer would be on that particular religions polical agenta. Some religions, such as the Catholic faith, has an extremely strong polical voice in many communities / countries. So it all depends on your view of religion in general or a specific one.

All three all too frequently.
I think the less dogmatic religions are much better. I haven't known this at the Unitarian Universalits church I used to attend nor in Pagans and Wiccans that I met. These paths though are open to change and seeking. The fundamentalists faiths though are extremely intolerant and closed off to anything or one who contradict their literalist beliefs.

Depends on the religion.
But no, in all seriousness, it does not. HUMANS breed fear, hate and discrimination, and then sometimes use religion as an excuse.

No, it's people who do. How can you blame a belief, when it's the person who believes it? Some try to blame religion, which is silly. It's the people. People are all so flawed, including me, so there will always be those problems.

Depends on the religion, of course. Not all religions are the same.

Christianity doesn't.
Mar 12:31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Sadly, yes. Of course, believers consider their fears, hatreds, and discrimination to be fully justified and everyone else's false and unjustifiable.
