Actually, I'm pretty sure that's just a meme like any of the other absurd sets of phrases with assorted imagery they throw up. However, if there really are feelings of racial superiority over others at 4Chan, I'm just not knowledgeable of it. I know plenty of people who say things that seem racist because they have a parodying quality of how irrational real racism is.
I'd say that the point of it is the shock value and the general dada-esque mania which the Chans and especially the Anonymous group thrive on.

Actually, it depends on what you mean by overriding hate, and if you mean all religion. I know a a lot of teens who simply hate Christianity because it's been forced on them to the point where it repulses them. I was one of those people, and I still can't say it's on my mega happy time list. It is the religiously entrenched or barricaded that create disillusion for the youth, I think. And no matter what it comes down to, there is no one person whose religious take is identical to any other person, so of course teens will have conflict with the minds of others suffocating them with their ideas when they just don't agree. It's natural there be an uprising to every colossal force. Revivalism in Christianity is now receiving some real opposition, and that's for the sake of the psychological liberty of everyone.
