I'll take a look at those resources, thanks for sharing! I agree that religion itself should not be dismissed, which is why I tried to clarify that many branches of Christianity are more accepting than others (and I'm less familiar with other non-Abrahamic religions, and other Abrahamic religions of course have their own histories and branches interpreting them their own ways). Religion does have its place in society, however this particular religion has historically been used excessively for control and to discriminate, which is what makes it particularly egregious. I mostly wanted to point out that the anti-LGBT+ sentiment was not exclusive to white or European followers of the religion (though the religion did originate in Europe as you mentioned), although in the US you'll see a lot of hardcore white Christians being anti-LGBT+.
