It's very easy to dogpile a group that consistently demonstrates intolerance. I've never "hated" on a Christian that I knew could be tolerant of everyone else in society. That said, it's pretty obvious that I'd ordinarily use this as an ANOTHER example of Christian intolerance:

However -- I don't have a problem with this sort of policy. It's certainly bigoted, but we as a society allow this -- what kind of club would the Millionaire Club be if they let in people who weren't millionaires? What about MENSA, if they let in people who weren't smart enough? Exclusivity is part of making a group -- no one likes to have a dissenter in their midst.
