And for the most part, I understand it. There are some really ridiculous views held by the religious right, and that turns off a lot of people, including myself, and it is part of the divisiveness this country has now.

But if you don't think there is a stigma on those who hold strong religious views, then we'll just have to agree to disagree. To me, it's blatantly obvious, and I am not even religious.

I don't think pointing out the hypocrisy of their alleged beliefs is hate or prejudice.

I agree there is a stigma of the fringe, fanatical religious (probably showed my prejudice right there), but I don't think questioning how, in this example, Dungy can reconcile leading the crusade to have Vick reinstated 3 years ago and, now, think "it" is too big of a distraction, is hate. Simply pointing out how silly it is.
