Why do so many atheists hate on ‘religion’ when the specific claims they’re making only applies to Abrahamic religions?

I totally understand hating on Abrahamism and the Abrahamic god because he’s so manipulative and evil and the entire religious family is built upon having blind faith that a set of texts is literally true with 0 evidence (the conviction bias). But why do so many of you decide to hate on Abrahamic religious practices and just call it ‘religion’? The Abrahamic religious family is only about 3500 years old meanwhile human religion is much older and in the modern day there’s tons of religions out there that don’t even require a belief in the supernatural much less do all that emotional manipulation stuff (Buddhism, Asatru, Hinduism, Shinto, Druidry, Taoism, Helpols, Native American and Siberian Animists, Slavic Paganism, etc).
