You're bigotted in your assumption.
It's a shame you have such a poor opinion of Christians, but I think most people's problem stems from organised religion and all of the issues that go along with leadership in any system.
Especially when you have a president who mixes politics and religion to dangerous effect. But you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush though, there's plenty of lovely Christians who aren't bigotted at all. What's most important is an individual's beliefs are their own, "religion" is something we shouldn't put our faith in.

Religion often says "Love Thy Neighbour". I try to stick to this as often as possible. If more people relaxed and stuck to this simple idea then, in theory, the world will become a better place.
The whole Bigot thing is more Human nature than religion but, unfortunetly, the two have become mixed over the centuries. It's about time this trend was changed but proper change will only happen if EVERYONE took part :-)
Education and awarness is always the best place to start :-)

No. Nowhere in the Bible does it say discriminate against those who are not like you.
But people read into the Bible and interpret the text to mean what they want it to mean.
To follow a religion is a personal choice. It does not have anything to do with what you think about other people. It is not our place to judge.

No you should not be a bigot, it does not matter at all what you call yourself,but it does matter the way you treat other people.I am a spiritualist, but that is my choice. I believe we all make our own choices in life in what paths we go down. What is right for one person might not be right for another,there are many paths to go down in life,no one should stand in judgement of another
person.

Yeah, many religions are designed to enforce intolerance of other lifestyles and religions among it's members - survival mechanism, so that once you join and choose to believe everything else is wrong and damned, you can't leave. Oops!

Absolutely not!! Bigots show their lack of understanding and are therefore not true to any religion.

To be a good athiest or undominate relgion is is essential for you to be ignorant all the time and ask questions that are useless?

YES, that is the way they maintain their control. Most religions preach peace when they PRACTICE HATE.
Some wait to tell you they hate you until they have bleed all they can out of you and used you in any other ways possible.

No, but I think it's a temptation common to everyone, religious or not.
In the religious, it's more of a scandal, since we should know better. That's only a half-joke!

No, atheists can be even bigger bigots as well. Just depends how double your morals or standards are.

Are you attempting to incite hate and violence. It is a crime, now. You have been reported and will be deleted soon, I hope. An idle mind is the devils workshop.
