Oh the irony in this question.
The answer cannot be any different than "Yes"...!
Serious now. I refuse to love everybody for sure. It's a violation of my sense of reason to love jst everybody, and it also is beyond my capacity and strength to love 7 billion people, counting. Let's be honest, all the world is a little too much for our human shoulders, let's chose some more realistic proportions then. I like some people - and others I don't. I tolerate some people - and some I don't. And I believe in the good of a some people - but not in something good in all people. Some are to be handled with care - some are just scum.
And many religious sectarians tell you that you will be loved only if you believe the right things - theirs. Many institutions do that, too, and threaten you with hellfire and eternal doom if you don't.
And be honest - does it really need a religion to tell you to treat the other friendly if he treats you friendly, too? Haven't you already come to that idea all by yourself, long before the first religion knocked on your door?
Religious dogma of this or that sect, school, dogma - it all is prefabricated stuff for sure, tailored to support the club'S claim for power, control over people and their minds, and special status given to them and demands announced that all other should believe what they believe,
else...! Superstitious retaliation in the next life at best, oppression and discrimination and progroms in already this profane present reality at worst. Save me!
