Social class is a division of a society based on social and economic status, not what deity you bow to and some deists really made a killing and are in the upper class
I meant to say protected class, not social class. My apologies for inaccurate terminology.
That said, religion has been a legally protected class against discrimination in the USA since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Doesn't matter if that religion is one of the Baskin Robbins flavors of Christianity or not.
To get back to the subject at hand, yes, lamenting that a member of a protected class is breeding is 100% bigotry. There's no substantive difference between saying "Ugh, I hate that my Christian teacher is having a kid!" and "Ugh, I hate that my black teacher is having a kid!" or "Ugh, I hate that my gay teacher is having a kid!" All such sentiments make you a bigot and asshole.
