Drop religion. Religion is the number one source of hatred, preaching to it's members that their own religion is right and all others are wrong. Religion asks you to 'have faith' because they have absolutely nothing to back it up with. You don't have to be religious to be a good person, you have to have morals. I don't go around hurting or killing people not because I fear eternal damnation but because it's morally wrong to infringe on someone else's pursuit of life and liberty.
Religions all play on your fear of death and capitalize it, promising you eternal salvation. God doesn't need your money, the church does. The cold hard truth is you are just an organism among billions of other organisms, and you should make the most of your life because eventually you will die and that will be it. Even the universe itself will one day come to an end. Life is just living a losing battle.
Make the most of your life, be kind to others, don't lie cheat or steal not because you fear the eternal damnations that different religions preach, but because it's the moral way to live your life.
Most of your life you will learn about things that are outside your control; you may have opinions about them, but remember this: it's none of your business. Religions want you to follow their creed instead of thinking for yourself. The time on this Earth when it was ruled by religion we now call 'The Dark Ages.' During which the Roman Catholic Church decreed that you were not allowed to learn to read or write unless you were a priest or nobility; they wanted to keep you stupid so you could be controlled. (They also stole the Winter Solstice holiday and claimed it as the birth of their savior, but if you think about it you'll realize it's complete b.s.: why do we decorate evergreen trees for christmas? You can be certain there wasn't an evergreen tree within 10,000 miles of jebus when he were alive, not a single book of the new testament was written until hundreds of years after his death, these tales were passed down for hundreds of years by word of mouth, and each storyteller embellished their story a little more than how they heard it.)
