It's unfair to try to equate race and religion that way. People are born with a race that they have no say in determining. On the other hand, people choose which religion they will practice, and it's reasonable to criticize the choices people make.

No, it's not. Bias that refuses to acknowledge inappropriate and unjustifiable presumptions is bigotry by definition.

For example: We say we don't worship Mary. Y'all refuse to accept that. What if we were Moslems and refused to accept that you worship one God, and insist you worship three gods.

Same thing.

Or weren't you aware "bigotry" encompasses MORE than "racism?"

So you if you think bias against inborn traits is the same thing as bias against things people choose to do, guess that means you’re all for stopping bias against gays since it’s just another choice like religion.

I happen to disagree. When someone makes a choice to adhere to a particular religion or makes a choice to act sexually in a certain way, criticism of that choice is acceptable.
