what is worse- ignorance or hatred?

In religions- what is worse- ignorance or hatred?
I have often wondered how ignorance is used and created by extreme religions upon their subjects. They must know this mechanism rather well as it has been around for a long time.
Hatred is also created and used by the same religions as an incitation to demolish anything that comes their way.
Both are a deadly combination. How far must the west tolerate this acceptance and behaviour?
IMO we are at a delicate level.
