I became less judgmental and less of an asshole after I started to pray, meditate, and study sacred texts and writings of various Catholic, Buddhist, and Hindu Saints.. I used to be anti-homosexual and it was actually after becoming a Christian that I gained understanding of others and compassion, and have made plenty of gay friends since. Religion can make some people more bigoted but in my case it did the opposite.
You're a more open minded christian than many. My grandmother would never have me study other religions or beliefs like that. It's good that you became more open minded, but what about christianity made you that way? What did you get out of christianity that you didn't get elsewhere?
Things like being nice to people can be found practically everywhere.
