It's funny. I recently saw a Top 10 Things You can't say if you're a follower of Jesus by a Presbyterian Minister, and it had this one on there. (The list was surprisingly fairly pleasant)
Then I read another of his top 10 lists--and it hit me. These people don't worship God, Jesus, or even Paul. As this minister suggested they worship The Bible. (It was a top 10 things you can't do if you follow Jesus). They LOVE the bible. They don't love God, or Jesus, or any of these other characters within. They love the book itself, because it promotes their particular brand of bigotry.
Religion emboldens Bigotry. I'm not sure it creates it, so much as it was created by it, and allowed to continue by it.
Idolatry ?
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
