2. No,

it is religious belief.
If that belief is true, (and how do we know it isn't) what is bigoted about speaking the truth.

4. Then it is incumbent upon those who claim it, to demonstrate the claim is true.

Otherwise, it's fair game to be called out for what it is; bigotry.

7. I see events.

Some you might call good or bad. I see no evidence of a malevolent motivator for those events. Can you prove there is one?

10. Do you not understand how that is insulting?

You and I haven't tangled before to my knowledge, and therefore there is no baggage between us, so I'll moderate my reaction to that.

Couldn't you just say 'I can't prove it' and accept that and move on? Why the need to suggest it's a deficiency in me? (As those who will not see)
