This is made easy because a religious belief alone is deemed sufficient to make oneself more moral than the next person and thus one becomes convinced of one's own virtue.
a belief that whatever transgressions one makes, it must be for the greater good and so can be forgiven.
So I guess the DUers who criticize the relious, yourself included, have a "religious mindset" that justifies your own transgression on the basis that it's for "the greater good". I see your OP as an effort to rationize your own bigotry because you're fighting for a "greater good"
That same sense of forgiveness is not extended to "others" because they either belong to a different religion, race, nationality or sexual orientation.This makes it mandatory for a true believer to take up either arms or a sword to exorcise the evils brought upon the world by the infidel.
True, that "religious mindset" is such a grave danger that it's OK for you to practice bigotry against them.
The other belief that is equally damaging is the belief in one's own uniqueness.Such people do not want to think of themselves as part of the larger human family with the same needs and desires as all others.
It's obvious that you see those with a "religious mindset" as not having the same needs and desires as you do.
