Then the root cause of the symptoms isn't religion, is it? Seeing as it affects secular people as well.
which one is more likely to cause bigotry?
Sounds like bigotry exists in both, the origins must be something else.
you're taking an outlier: a bigoted secularist; and equating it with the norm of religious bigotry. i just don't understand why you would pick this hill to die on. methinks you might have an ulterior motive.
I'm going to take a page for your book and ask for a source on that. What is the difference in bigotry between religious and secular people?
Me thinks thou dost protest too much. You've taken a article about bigotry, that doesn't mention religion a single time, and used it as your soapbox to declare all religion should be banned. I'm not the one with the ulterior motive here, and I'm just pointing that out.

Holy shit, 23% of secular Americans are bigots. That sure as fuck isn't an outlier, it's 1 in 4 people. Find 3 other secular people, one of you is a bigot. Why are you proposing a solution that ignores roughly 20 million bigots? (Population of 334,914,895, roughly 28% are secular, roughly 23% of those are bigots).
I'm starting to suspect bigotry is not your main focus of concern here.
