That you don't share that belief does not make it an illegitimate argument and de-legitimizing that belief (and mocking religious belief in general) is bigoted because you are belittling the thing that many people hold most dear. Put another way, people who mock religious people for defending their most personal beliefs are showing intolerance for a group of people whose beliefs are different from their own, the very definition of bigotry.

Not really. That's just bigotry masked by "faith." The fact is, if your religion is telling you to be intolerant, then your religion is bigoted too.
