Which is worse, being a religious bigot, or a racist?

Question

Is it worse to discriminate because of someone's religion, or their race?

Answer 1

A racist for sure because not all people are alike. There are black people who have light skin, big brains, and good health like any other race

Answer 2

Their is evidence to support racism. I'm not justifying it nor am i condoning it. I'm simply saying, that its like cats and dogs, only the cats and dogs have thousands of chromes different then different races.

     But with religion, its just fabricated lies, made to make little kids of the 50s sleep better knowing there will be justification for all the horrible things going on, notice when the religious polls started to decline, the polls for the educated polls inclined.  

Answer 3

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???

I say this to you  in all due respect and sincerity,

" But can you seriously ask that question?"

Discrimination in any form is wrong !!!!

Race . Religion.. Age . Disabled . Nationality . Appearance.????

A Bigot still discriminates.

If you must judge people, base it on their individual character/ morals / integrity /giving / charitable... not people as a group, but on the individual.

ANY form of Discrimination / Bigotry  for ill will,  is a form of cruelty and ignorance

Two wrongs can not make a right. (or even one right)

Answer 4

Race in my opinion, because SO many more people would hate you I guess...

And if you were a religious bigot then it'd be quite normal to not like another religion, example Christians & Catholics don't see eye to eye.

Hope this helps babe =]

Answer 5

Both.

Answer 6

Both are bad, because both are ignorant and blinded.

Answer 7

Sadly, they have become synonymous.  The facts that a) there is only one race, the human race, is starting to become more recognized, and b) that racism wasn't just discrimination, but a pseudo scientific effort to prove that Caucasians were innately superior and therefore had the "responsibility" to civilize everyone else (and well as the right to exploit everyone else) have rendered the word racism into a generalized term for bigotry and prejudices.  For example, Serbs vs. Croats.  This was termed racism and Ethnic cleansing.  However, the difference was one of religion affiliation and national boundaries.  If you stood a Serb next to a Croat, I defy you to tell which is which just by looking.  The same goes for the Tootsies and Hootoos in Rwanda.

If you mean to say is it worse to discriminate against someone based on their religion or based on the color of their skin or shape of their eyes, I'd say the latter, but only if you specify the religion.  I will happily discriminate against a true Satanist who practices animal sacrifice (calm down LeVeyans, I'm not talking about you).  I would have discriminated against members of the Mason family.  And if I had my way, I'd make all Scientologists ride in the back of the bus.  I'm okay with most religions, however, and if someone never mentioned their religion to me, there'd be no way for me to discriminate against them, would there.
