Its all quite simple really. The people you should really hate are politicians. For they are the ones that will go to any lengths to control the populace.
As you said, allot of these religions started with really good concepts. People flocked to them because they saw something beneficial in them. As soon as the religions gained enough popularity with the masses, politicians hijack them for their own purposes. For what better way to get people to do your bidding then to say you are speaking for God.
