That sounds like a very nuanced view of a complicated and diverse belief system with many different interpretations practiced by different people.

No; actually, it sounds like the sort of ignorance and stereotyping that people generally accuse religion of generating.



It doesn't bother me if someone that thinks the Earth is what...6,000 years old and that someone who is gay is a subhuman thing thinks that I'm the ignorant one. It would be like if an otter thought I wasn't a very nice person. The thing is that I've not seen any evidence of someone who has my set of beliefs willfully causing harm to anyone else. But it's pretty easy to see people willfully harming or contributing to the harm of other people in the name of the good book.
