Not exactly, unless you're including deeply held ideas and beliefs into that. You're ignoring one very real part of bigotry just because someone distorted that part (I agree, "opinions" is weak, but it's incredibly easy see how that conclusion was drawn, it's not outright wrong, it's just a distortion). You're not wrong either, you just have an incomplete definition.
I don't know why you think religion is a grey area, religious bigotry is one of the most cited types, and a very real form of bigotry.
