Thank you for the corrections. My initial hearing of the Hillsboro High School in the movie made me think of the Westboro church in Topeka. (yes, they are based in Topeka)
The fanaticism relayed in this movie does border on hate such as what is shown by Phelps and co. I think the scene towards the end when the reverend was giving his sermon of Genesis shows it best as he was building the crowd into quite a frenzy until his daughter stopped him. There was also the townspeople marching through town singing about hanging the science teacher.
