If someone professes that a Christian ("religious nut") can not also be a legal scholar - we are, in fact, the most qualified - that person is a bigot...

No one is claiming that a person cannot be both a legal scholar and a Christian. It just so happens that Harriet Miers is only one of those, and was picked for that reason despite her lack of being the other.

...and and an antichrist.

Yeah, this is where that "religious nut" label comes in. Do you not know that the legal scholars that founded this great nation were of the very same religious nuttery? Have you not seen the damage done to this great nation and her founding documents by those who refer to Christians as "religious nuts"?

Look, I'm just saying that this is going to be the prevailing opinion of conservative judicial philosophy within the legal community because Bush has decided that religiousness is a substitute for legal scholarship.

If you don't want this kind of negative association, then you need to insist that it isn't enough for a SCOTUS nominee.
