Hamas is an Insurgency Movement against a foreign invader, and has nothing to do with religion except in the Propaganda discourse of that very same foreign invader - Israel - which being deeply racist and commiting their murders mainly along etnic lines, uses racism in the West against Muslims to try and garner public support for their mass murder of Palestinians (not even Hamas, Palestinians) and has for a long time also used racism in the West to get support for themselves (the "unwavering support [of] the Jewish Nation" - emphasy mine - by Germany is a perfect example of that leveraging of racist thinking and race-related discrimination in a Western nation to obtain such levels of priviledged treatment that even Genocide is excused).
Outside the Israeli Propaganda, Hamas are as much related to religion as the Résistance Française was.
PS: This doesn't mean I agree with some of Hamas' methods, by the way. However, that doesn't change the reality that their entire reason to be is that of an Insurgent Movement.
Hamas [...] has nothing to do with religion
From Wikipedia:
Hamas, an acronym of its official name, Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Arabic: حركة المقاومة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, lit. 'Islamic Resistance Movement')
Right, and the NAZI party was the National-Socialist Party Of The German Worker (whilst being anti-Socialist) and the Democratic Republic Of Korea is the northern one and a dictatorship, just to name two big examples of the name meaning nothing at all.
Please point to any source (not obviously islamic propaganda) of Hamas not being an islamic organization. I'm not saying it's what makes them the bad guys, just that it's dishonest to say they have "nothing to do with religion"
Let's not kid ourselves. From Israel being created, to all the two state solutions falling through, to all the terrorists attacks and assassinations that have happened was fueled by religion.
Religion created the deep divide between these two groups and caused the modern day situation.

That "argument" of your is not exactly solid.
Some Hamas leader: "We are an Islamic resistance movement" (although there seem to be worse ones around)
Apparently they like islamic dress codes, going so far as to patrolling beaches to enforce them
They don't like music and dance either
