Bigotry mostly comes from religion and the adherents need to own their beliefs. Nobody forces them to think that way, but beliefs are not the same as rights.
So, you're asserting that all rights are equal and inalienable?

Regardless of sex, age, ethnicity, culture, sexual preference, socio-economic class...

...but not religious alignment?

You do know that religion is one of the few areas the courts have recognized as being exempt from certain laws? (I.e., afforded greater protection than other protected classes).

If you are raised in, belong to, and practice the religion of the Church of _______________, and believe that failure to practice chastity on rainy days will result in your eternal damnation...AND FURTHER...you have a moral responsibility to witness in an effort to save the souls of non-believing wet-willie'ers...

...your life will revolve around the weather radar.

Not really a stretch if you think about it.

Is it illogical? Sure.

Are they infringing on the rights of lovers of rainy days? Depends on the DEGREE of interference.

Do they have a *right* to practice an illogical religion? Hell yes!

When any court or government attempts to regulate religious doctrine, humanity will begin the journey towards a dystopian totalitarian demise.
