Lets see bigoted means One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
Seeing that you do not know the majority of the Christians here in the United States I would have to say you are a shining example of prejudice.. An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.

For the same reason Christians everywhere are irredeemably bigoted - they're self-righteous pontificators. Christianity has the same sleazy tactics of a used-car salesman built into it: an unthinking pride about the supposed superiority of their religion that functions as an incessant advertisement, spreading the religion even while its members exude its disgusting chauvinism.

Because they're not actually Christian, they're the few that got on Television and Radio, in order to yell their crappy views, and condemn everyone, and then claim they're Christian and then got on to even say that they're following the Bible! Thosw that are bigoted haven't read the Bible, if they did, they'd know it's not their place to Judge or Condemn anyone.
So, i'm trying to say that those Bigots are not what all us Christians are like. I find them to be a disgrace to us all.

And you aren't?
We understand that the Bible repeatedly and unambiguously has teachings that many people find offensive, such as:
* God is our creator, has the right to tell us how to live our lives, and will preside over Judgment Day
* people are more or less inherently selfish and inclined to disobey God
* sexual immorality is wrong (sex outside of man/woman marriage)
* saving faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (which involves turning away from your sins ... aka repentance ... and surrendering control of your life to His Son)
* non-believers are condemned to hell, which is eternal, conscious torment
* the primary purpose of a believer is to be part of making disciples of Christ (great commission)
If a person truly believes some or most of the above, and is a caring person, they are concerned about non-believers. Opinions like a favorite football team or political party have no eternal significance. Faith and our actions during this short span on earth have eternal consequences.

I am bigoted because I can't leave my bike chained to the front porch without a crackhead stealing it.

Evangelicals who are clearly bigotted give American Christians a bad name a bad name. They're not all zealous fanatics.

I give you points for poetic irony, even though you spelled it "irredeemably" wrong. But I'm not a walking dictionary either. For all I know, it's not even a word.
