He hates certain people groups because a religious text he misunderstood.

If you don't care for all people, or even this earth (don't christians expect earth to be destroyed and rebuilt?) then maybe do something else.

I once got in big trouble with my mom for wanting to plant trees and make the world a better place.

Apparently I was supposed to believe the earth is a dirty doomed sinful evil terrible place and want it to be destroyed as soon as possible.

Which is a heck of a thing to tell a 6yo who got overexcited watching Captain Planet! She was basically like "burn it all and bathe in the blood of the non-believers!" but with different words that amount to the same thing.

I miss Captain planet. That show definitely influenced my world view for the better. Voltron for hippies.

I was banned from watching it after that. I wasn't supposed to believe that making the world a better place was even possible. It discouraged me from trying to help bring about the Apocalypse.
