It's pathetic. And it's God's biggest problem.
All through the old Testament the people kept turning from him and not worshiping the way He wanted.
So He finally gave His Son for us to either believe or not. Simple

It's not strange at all. Putting it in another scenario:
Imagine a private club. This club of young boys, that lasts a lifetime. A true friendship.
There are other boys, who are unruly and nasty and never were invited into the club. Since they can't get into the club, they devise to pretend to the world, that they do belong to this club and give themselves a name so close to the original, that outsiders don't know the difference.
Let's say the original club was called 'Neighborhood boys'. And the fake club called 'Neighboring boys'.
Along the way, others do the same thing but they mistakenly copy off the fake club name and not the original. Maybe something like 'Neighboring boyhood'.
The second and third groups all copy the handbook of the first but with a few tiny twists that nobody ever really notices.
All 3 groups appear the same to the outside world. Only those who first formed the groups, know the differences.
Now suppose the second group goes out and robs a store. They wear shirts that say' Neighboring boys'. Was that the 'Neighborhood boys'? No but the outside world doesn't know the difference.
Now lets say, these boys all grow up and have boys of their own. Then that second generation grows up and has other children. 6 or 7 generations later, each group still following the club their fathers originated, they don't know the differences themselves, any more.
The original group still stays off to themselves but the 2 fake groups can't stand that there is another group calling themselves the originals. Who is going to back bite and start fights? It's not the original group. It's those who feel they are being called the fakes.
Who can blame these young boys who have been given a string of lies, through several generations? They didn't commit the first falsehood and they think they are the origins of this club.
You see the picture?

Certainly, religion oftentimes love to hate believing there is the truth and all else are false.
It is when one is certain of truth that it becomes a way of life and by then it wont be strange that you start to realize with patience about human inhumanities to human

Which religion might that be? Christianity? Its not the "religion of love", it just claims to be. Christianity is full of as much hate as any of the more ancient religions.

Isn't it irritating how atheists love to focus on the 1% of "bad" Christians, and ignore the rest of the tremendous good they do?

Not at all. Hate is a good thing. It separates the righteous from the wicked. Jesus came not to teach love but to teach us who to hate. Those liberals who are unwilling to stand up against the enemies of Jesus are not real Christians. Jesus will torture them in hell along with the atheists.
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
"I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:35-36)
"Think not that I am come to send peace: I came not to send peace but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." (Luke 19:27.

The Message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ does not in any way shape or form known to man translate into hate.
But Jesus did say that that is how the world will perceive him.
Jhn 15:18 ¶ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

The "best" Christians are the ones that don't take it seriously... that is my experience, that is what I've seen.
Very strange how Christians are the most hateful group of people I know.
