Yes -- from the likes of Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson. But it is one thing to discriminate against a person of faith, say in civil matters (denying them a home, a loan, a seat in a restaurant solely because of their beliefs); it is another to attack the basis of the faith in print or in oral argument. The latter to me is not "bigotry" any more than anti-Marxism or anti-Hegelianism is "bigotry." Religious thought is, at bottom, philosophical, and thus is open to any or all critiques, mild or harsh, fair or unfair.
