It’s not even religious. Their religion says all kinds of really important shit that they completely ignore. They just pick this one specific issue because they hate women and it’s a lot easier to say “Uhhhh it’s because of my religion, you’re discriminating against me!” than it is to say “I hate women and want them to suffer”.
Also not in the religion, they’re specifically instructed that they’re not to make judgements or enact any punishments on the behalf of god, which this is.
I think even that is reaching. Most of them don’t want to punish women for extramarital sex, they just think God’s will is that those women deserve what they get. Of course they still defy God’s will by wearing glasses if God gave them bad eyes, but that’s just more shoddy reasoning.
I think that’s confusing simple ignorance and crappy reasoning with hate, which is a very misapplied word today. Another example is people who don’t recycle - they don’t hate the environment, they’re just fucking lazy.

Oh come now. They don’t hate women, they just want to punish women for having sex outside of marriage because it’s against…their… religion…
…hm.

Their motivations are still religious. Scripture and belief/practice often do not coincide or outright contradict each other.
It’s religious leaders saying this stuff. It isn’t in scripture. Not Christian scripture, at any rate.
