Grammar police: "it's" not "its".

Maybe people are naturally homophobic and religion just reflects that. You have to be careful when blaming religion for cultural behavior. I don't see your point on logic. If a person believes in their religion, and the religion says homosexuality is wrong, then logic dictates that people behave in response. The problem is the fundamental belief in the religion. You can ask them why they hate homosexuals and they will say it is because their religion says so. To modern, western people, they get to a point where they say, "I don't care what the Bible says, I just can't bring myself to hate someone." But Islam hasn't reached that point.

One relevant thing is how shellfish and wearing more than one cloth type at a time they say is sinful also. Shellfish because of disease likely, but we don't see people doing that sort of stuff, yet the religious are still more homophobic. Perhaps its because they can point fingers to other people instead of feeling like they are the bad ones, and then it might be because of logic issues more than religion. But then that still doesn't address say Isis, or people who literally fear their kids are going to hell when they turn out to be gay and stuff. Its hard to pin-point exactly why, but it can't help but be explained at least partially that religion(abrahamic faiths in this case) causes it.

And yeah 'modern' western people. Not all of them are modern, but even then some religious homophobia still exists like the WBC and probably more. Depends on how you define modern. http://www.pewforum.org/2016/05/12/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/And there seems to be more homophobia than explained from the non-modern explanation. We would expect figures near like 5% or something not close to 50%.
