You implied it, in this case there is only one person who you could tag "xenophobic" and "close minded" and thats the author of that article, but you used the term "the religious machine" - I think most people are correct in the assesment that you mean't to brand all "religious" people "xenophobic" and "close minded" ....so the advice here is that if you dont want people to take your statement out of context than be specific, instead of coming across as "close minded" and "xenophobic"
