Yes, you are rational, no thanks to religion. Maybe there’s a reason I hate on it, as it directly impacts my life and the world around it? Like the current evangelical cult being used to justify utterly oppressing America? And America is trying to spread that oppression to us. Like backstabbing Ukraine by cutting off Starlink.
If it were not making my life so much worse, I would not be hating it with such an intensity.
As for you, I can’t possibly imagine what this faith is, or why you would have it. Why choose faith?
I can empathize and sympathize with your situation. The evangelical cult based craziness in the US is truly astonishingly horrible. If you are from Ukraine, then I fully understand that you haven’t got the luxury of being patient towards enemies. I am from Hungary, and to what it is worth, I am 100% supporting Ukraine, sent money to the Hungarians fighting in the Ukrainian army as well.
On the philosophical level I still think that hating on all religions because people can use religion for horrible causes is analogous to hating on technology and science because people can construct horrible weapons using those.
As for the faith part: it is very hard to talk about it while being true to it, even when talking to close friends. So I choose to not talk about it more closely on public forums.

That last part is a key issue. I will can it then.
