All hate groups seem dated, sadly hate doesn't seem to just sort of become a thing of the past :(

As far as you question goes to some extent yes. I wouldn't want to see some sort of litmus test for groups that clearly aren't purely a hate group.

A specific christian identity group (randomly made up here) that is hateful, no problem with removing them. All Christian groups, no.

Why not? Nearly every interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah is anti gay (I personally interpret the story as about not raping, but that's off topic).

Why wouldn't it be OK to ban a belief system that specifically discriminates against an innate feature?

I don't think that any system that has something you can find objectionable about it would mean you should ban a group.

There is a difference between groups with some questionable beliefs about others, and those whose groups are entirely about hating other people.

That's a reasonable answer, but note that's it's a different answer from the OP - you're not proposing to ban intolerance per se, but rather any group whose purpose is solely intolerance.

As an atheist, I do find them a hate group. Are you going to declare militant atheism intolerant, or religion?

I'm not at all sure why simply being an atheist would be a hate group.

I don't know what "militant atheism" is though.
