I'd disagree there. Any religion that claims to have a monopoly on capital-T Truth inherently creates ingroups and outgroups. It "others" the outgroups and makes it acceptable (within the ingroups) to dehumanize them.

Even churches than preach love and acceptance inherently look down outsiders and sinners as "less than."
