Re: People who think like this:
Hatred is saying something like "All Muslims/Gays/Leroys are ruining this world, and we should eliminate all of them from our society."
Not standing for such hatred, ie, "This woman is an idiot for saying that all muslims/gays/leroys should be eliminated," is not itself hatred OR intolerance. It's calling out that person's wicked bigotry.
As Clevername explained, it doesn't matter whether that woman identifies as Christian, Hindu, or Leroyist. Her views are reprehensible and worthy of scorn regardless of her justification for them.

I still think that Leroyists are ruining the world.

This lady popped up when I googled "leroyist". Apparently, she's a disciple. You can listen to her song, "A Requiem For Leroy", but it's not pretty, and towards the end becomes NSFW.

Hate the Leroy, not the Leroyist. That's what I always say.

Re: People who think like this:
My whole problem with this is that lawmakers like little miss suzy sunshine in OK are using biblical rules as an explanation/justification for the laws they are trying to enact.
In my mind, the whole gay marriage argument boils down to the fact that Christians are imposing their religious beliefs on a minority. And that is decidedly bigoted and dare I say UNamerican!
