It can be partly because of religion, but it could also be prevented partly by religion.
It all depends on who a religious person receives their morality from. If they receive their morals from their religious leader who is kind toward everybody, they will personally have kind morals. The same applies if their religious leader is hateful; they will develop hateful ways of looking at the world. However, many strongly religious people make their own interpretations of what is right, and put themselves near like-minded people with the same interpretations that they have.
Religions are a way of (sometimes manipulatively) passing down ideas. Both good and bad ideas can be passed down, and with a world much more open to large-scale traveling than before, people are not as susceptible to having ideas forced upon them. If somebody does not like what they are being religiously taught, they can find a new place of worship, or they can find a new location altogether.
TL;DR: Religions can spread both good and bad ideas, and they are not as likely to gain absolute followers now because different cultures are more accessible.
And a lot of it is just hatred within a culture that is exposed through religion. The hatred would still be there without the religion.
