I don't think you understand what the word bigotry means. I have no animosity toward religious people, I have animosity toward religion itself. 

Futhermore, I might wish to wash my hands after encountering someone with influenza - that does not make me bigoted. 

There really is no logic to be found in your argument. I sincerely tried to find it, but continually am disappointed.


Except that your quote clealry says a religious person, not religion itself. And ''hand washing'' implies that they are diseased, disgusting, repulsive people for  having different opinion and one feels the need to clean himself after coming into contact with a religious person as if his beliefs make him like a leper or something like that.  Thats some nazi-level pejorative right ther, and the fact that you are trying to defend it tells a lot about what kind of person you really are. It makes you wonder what would happen if people like you had any kind of power or influence in the world. Oh wait, I have a pretty  good idea

Right, because they are "sick" and I wish not to "catch" it. That's not their fault, they simply caught "the bug" from years of indoctrination. Just as someone with influenza isn't at fault, or dirty, or whatever you said (hilarious stuff btw), but I certainly don't wish to contract it.

You refuse to understand my position, because you initially took offense for no reason. None is intended. 

PS: Learn the difference between Communism (a gov't system) and Antitheism (the concept that religion is bad) and then slap yourself in the face for conflating entirely different concepts.
