"Religion and theists" is a very broad category. Are you including Jains? Pure Land Buddhists? They're not theists exactly, but they are often religious.
Or are you only talking about people near you?
I said "not where I live". You deleted that part. Stop being a dick. I don't have to demonstrate shit to you.
You said that religious people where you live don't call out other religious people.
You didn't specify whether or not you were only referring to local people when you said that "religion and theists" demonstrate bigotry.
And yes, you don't have to demonstrate anything you've said to be true. Sometimes people say that the one making the assertion bears the burden of proof, but I understand that doesn't always apply.
We really could discuss this in a calm way. I'm not trying to trick you or insult you.
