Because of tensions in Northern Ireland, it is felt that all protestants are hostile to all catholics.

You're not living in Scotland or Ireland are you?
A bigot in this sense means that you are prejudiced against other races. Your friend's husband was continuing a decades old religious hatred by assuming that as a Protestant you are personally responsible for bad treatment of Catholics.
You are not a bigot clearly, as you have Catholic friends! It is your friend's husband who is bigoted, for making assumptions about you based on your religion.

A bigot is someone who holds strong views, for what ever reason, even if it offends others, so he's the one thats being bigoted. Don't mind him

Unless you have done or said something that could be viewed as bigoted then it's HIM who is the bigot.

Hypocrite - however, just because he said it doesn't mean it's true does it, so take no notice of the ignorant bar-steward.

It's 'Bigot'
It means prejudice against something, whether race, religon, sexuality, whatever.
I personally would be mad if someone called me that.
