There is an incredible amount of hatred and discrimination in this world that can be traced back to the text in some book said that some particular group of people were bad and other people accepted that as the word of God. The only reason these people have to hate that group is because an authority figure (the authority figure) told them to.

If you wanted to do evil to other people, justifying that evil via some higher power seems like a pretty obvious move to me.
