  Bigot /bĭg′ət/, noun: A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended sense, a person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his own, as in politics or morals; one obstinately and blindly devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion.

    Well that’s utter nonsense

    Bigotry is about hating something that is an inherent part of a person, like where they were born, the colour of their skin, their gender, their sexuality

    Religion is a choice.

    A stupid choice

      If you were born in an other country, an other time or just in your country and your time but in an other family, you’d probably have other religious views.

      And even if it wasn’t the case, if you lose respect for people just because they made a stupid choice, you didn’t have a lot of respect for them from the beginning. Tolerance reserved for people agreeing with you is not tolerance, it’s agreement. It’s bigotry.

        My tolerance ends the moment someone else is intolerant of me. Christians think I am going to hell and plenty of them would happily kill me if they thought they could get away with it. I won’t tolerate that.

        Oh, just fuck off and cry about it to your invisible sky-daddy

        I don’t care what you think, I don’t value your opinions and I have no respect for you whatsoever

        You’re stupid, and once again, you’re making up a definition of bigotry that fits your identity as a victim

        I refer you back to my point about bigotry applying to things that people can’t control

        Again: Your superstition is a choice.

        You’re not the victim of bigotry.

        You’re just upset because I think of your religion the same way you think about the religions that aren’t your particular flavour of stupidity.
