Quote:I had just told the good RevJ that not all people who identify as religious are delusional.
You're right,they're not.The sweeping generalisation falls neatly into the definition of bigotry. It's ignorant, facile,intellectually lazy and divisive..
That so may atheists seem to believe that drivel is clear proof that some believers are not the only deluded ones.

Quote:A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs. The predominant usage in modern English refers to persons hostile to those of differing sex, race, ethnicity, religious belief or spirituality, nationality, language, sexual orientation, and age; and to those from a different region, with non-normative gender identity, those who are homeless, and those with various medical disorders, particularly behavioural and addictive disorders. Forms of bigotry may have a related ideology or world views.
