17. There is no reason we should have tolerance and understanding for bigotry

I am sick of people using religion to justify bigotry, there are plenty of religious people who are not bigots. There is no reason we should be tolerant of bigotry, people choose their religious beliefs no one is born a bigot they are taught to be bigots. If a religious institution teaches bigotry, then that is a bigoted institution. Not all churches are homophobic, and I am more than happy to embrace those churches who reject bigotry but I am not going to defend those that spread hate.
