Sounds to me like you’ve got the wrong religion prevalent in your country, which I agree is a bad bad thing. There have been many atrocities committed by people claiming to adhere to some divine mandate (hello crusades!) and that is problematic.
But religion as a whole doesn’t have to be bad. Many religions preach tolerance for others—one of their primary missions is to eliminate the very hate and inequality you have spoken of. Just look at what some religions do to help people because they believe it’s something their God would like them to do: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/humanitarian-aid-welfare-services-breakdown-donations-costs-resources https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/humanitaria...
Again, I’m really sorry to hear that religion has been used to oppress rather than to bond in your country. But the right kind of religion (as this corrected study seems to show) actually improves communities. I hope you can find a solution. :-/
