Religion is, at best, morally neutral. Good people don't need it to justify being good, but bad people can and do use it to justify being bad.
So, for example, you don't need a religious explanation for supporting equal rights, although I suppose you could use a religion to provide one.
However, if you want to support bigotry, it's really hard to do that on its own terms, and much easier to just say that your religion demands it.
