It's not an insult to saying I'm looking at nuances and flavors of bigotry, and considering where to draw the line, because I am.Good luck with that. It's unamerican, and unlikely that you'd be able to pull it off without doing something illegal, here. Canm you imagine the fox headline shitstorm about an hoa or condo that evicts people for finding out that the person was a christer? They're not going to be short of representation or advocates...and they're going to extract one hell of a payment out of it, lol. Course.....you -might- be able to get away with it, in america..if you claimed that you were simply acting in accordance with your strongly held religious beliefs.....or that person couldn't get adequate legal representation for reasons........
What if I set out to build an atheist community? What if I did so because I think religious people are fucking idiots, and that even a smart theist has something a little bit wrong with them that I just don't feel I want in my life? What if I made a little flag for my community that I waved proudly or even saluted at special events, and upon discovering that members of my community had adopted religious positions, I was prepared by the constitution of that community and the might of the majority to eject those undesirables?
That's that good genteel bigotry, right thur.

Is there any law against bigots going and being bigots together, in america? Has the new american fascism managed to make that illegal? Nope. You just can't do the bigotry to -other- people. Like..you know..evict them (unless ofc they're brown and or from not christendom...maybe). Unfortunately that means I can't evict them from my country..either. See how they disappoint me as an nco of the leftist gestapo?
