What I mean by “religious toxicity” is being very religious to the point of hating the non-religious, and secularism.

I’m not surprised that religions like Christianity and Islam still exist, I’m surprised that there are still so many super religious Christians and (especially) Muslims out there. If I’m going to be honest, it concerns me.
Now, don’t take this the wrong way, but this totally feels like a leading question, looking to pick an argument.
Not saying that’s what it is, but you haven’t given any reasoning, context or data to suggest why you think the situation should be any different. Over what time period were you expecting things to change? Why were you expecting things to be different by now?
Generally as science advances we have answers to how the universe works. I can understand religion a thousand years ago, but today? Not really. And I understand the fanatics even less when they oppose scientific fact.
