Would really love to hear how those traits apply to religions that teach hard core pacifism and love. There are zealots who pervert religion to promate hatred. There are Anti-religion fanatics who are their mirror image, decrying all who dare to think a different way. Bit of the pot calling the kettle black. “It is a fact; clear as day; religion is devisive, preaches intolerance, disrepect and ultimately hatred.” -Centaur4321

Motives became unimportant in light of actions (if one could be so generous as to ascribe any possible positive motive for a thing like that.) If you slap me in the face, I really don't care if you are thinking nice thoughts when you do it. If you show a picture of the slap to others at a big party, they just see the slap and the insult is magnified and in our culture, popularized. Well, he is a "pop" artist.

Do you know the context of the clip? No. The song for which the clip was illustrative? No. Has Elton gone on record with his intent? No. Any details at all? No, you're just assuming that that's the only thing it could possibly mean. Talk about projecting one’s own hatefulness! Do you know the context
