Your broad generalizations make answers to these questions useless to theorize.

How many wars can you think of that have been started over atheism?
100 million-plus dead in the twentieth century promulgated in very large part by atheist ideologies doesn't count?

It's a human thing, not a religious thing.

Because they're always making ignorant generalizations and putting things in absolutes. That always leads to hate.

Most Baptists I know are extremely judgmental. Not so much other religions.
Basically they are preached to that being Baptist is the only way to heaven. With that, I think this is the root of why they think they are better than everyone else, thus they can hate on everyone else.

Are intolerant people more likely to be religious? Does religion breed intolerance?
Religion is very effective way to establish a collective closed mind. Religion is based on a common belief. It's foundation is built on the belief in sin, guilt and fear, the (Unholy Trinity) It is a very effective way to keep people from going within and having their own experience.
Their way to overcome this unholy trinity is through sacrifice and suffering, they believe that is what Jesus taught by his example. They just simply made a mistake and completely missed the point of what he taught.
So they go on and on, and on..... with the same old tired shite, and when people realize what is going on, they leave the church, and someone else replaces them.

Soviet Civil War, Soviet purges, eastern front in WWII (especially on the way back to Berlin), the Chinese Civil War, the Cultural Revolution, Cambodia, Korea, the various Latin and African insurgencies, etc., etc., etc. All had one side, sometimes more, that was ardently and explicitly atheist.
Religion is a tool, just like economics, nationalism, militarism, and all the rest, that we use to dominate, conquer, and control. Religion - and I include ardent atheism in that category - isn't anything special in that regard. They can be used to ensure positive or negative outcomes; there is no inherent nature in them that ensures that they are de facto deleterious devices. In fact, in the twentieth century, state-sponsored religion largely took a back seat to economics, militarism, and atheism. It was also the bloodiest century in human history.

Those wars weren't started over atheism.

An ardently and militantly atheistic ideology was at the core of much of it.
What were they about then? Economics and power? There are good arguments to be had that most all so-called religious wars are about economics and power as well. The Thirty Years War was hardly about religion by halfway through the conflict. The Crusades were about checking centuries of encroachment into well-established spheres of influence. The current melee in Syria is 1600's Germany repeating itself all over again. It is about power and spheres of influence.
Religion has no special hold in promulgating violence. Human beings have been cruel as hell to each other for thousands upon thousands of years. They just find different excuses to do it.

You are way off topic. None of that answers the question in the OP.

FIFY.
Some people let their hatred manifest through their religious beliefs(or lackof in your case).

You're the one who veered off into the "how many wars have they started" nonsense. You are now trying to re-direct.
For the record, I don't think religious people are any more or less hateful. They just channel it in a different manner. I am not particularly religious and haven't ever really been, so I am not coming from that angle.
