Seems like hard-core hate for anyone religious is fine in many circles. Is there a point where it becomes as problematic as other forms of bigotry? Not any specific religion necessarily just the disdain for the religious in general.

Your response just comes off the same way a guy might say something like “Sure I don’t HATE gay/racial group/ethnic group people, I just dont want them to be around me” (a common sentiment I’d hear growing up) I recognize the distinction between choice you made though. I just can’t quite seem to grasp why you may think people make that choice.
People make that choice because it makes them feel special.
I don’t need to be a member of a bronze-age book club to enjoy my life
Sadly, a lot of people are indoctrinated into religion as a child.
I agree
It’s abuse
Without indoctrination before a child is able to think, religion would disappear in a generation
If you genuinely believe its child abuse, do you think legislation should be created to outlaw it?
In theory, yes
But it would be unworkable and impossible to enforce
It’s not worth the headache and giving religious people another excuse to claim that they’re persecuted
In time humanity will outgrow religion, if we survive long enough
Understood.
