It's simple, Modulus,
However, Bertot recently brought up the "bigotry and intolerance of the Atheistic Secular Fundamentalists twords nearly all religion and Theism".
Anybody that objects to the take-over of the US by fundamentalist Christians is obviously biased, bigoted, intolerant of any and all theistic thoughts.
The fact that fundamentalist Christians are pushing falsehoods about the age of the universe, life, evolution, etc, and that the objections are to the falsehoods, pointing out that these are delusional beliefs contradicted by evidence, has nothing to do with it.
If anyone wants to supply actual evidence that the above positions stated by Bertot are positions Dawkins has actually taken, maybe they would serve at least certain definitions of bigoted - depending on context of course. Either individual cases, or better still events or actions of intolerance supported or carried out by organised groups of same?
There are a number of his essays on the Council for Secular Humanism website
"What Use is Religion?" is one. You can also read
"Ignorance is no Crime", which discusses his well known quote:"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that."
And you can search the site for "Richard Dawkins" and then search the authors to find his articles.
Enjoy.
