Well, I do acknowledge that there are a few LGBT Christians and there are some Christians who support LGBT rights. That goes for the same for Muslims and Jews. The reason I point out a lot of LGBT folks are usually atheists or socialists is mainly because a lot of major religions in the world hold a negative view towards LGBT folks (especially the Abrahamic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Even Buddhism, one of the most peaceful religions in the world, hold a negative view towards LGBT (although it should be noted that Buddhism has a strong disdain towards ANY forms of sexuality, as Buddhism teaches the idea of humility and avoid worldly desires, including sex).
Overall, I believe that while people do use religious to justify any form of oppressive measures or douchebaggery, true believers of religion should be open and accepting.
