Your statement:

To me, most religions seem equally dishonest, arrogant and frankly offensive to one or another degree. In fact, Sikhism is the only religion to which I am regularly exposed that seems to retain some core values that have not been thoroughly twisted to suit the agendas of an elite".

Your question:

I have spoken against bashing one religion and expressed a degree of respect for another. What bigotry?

Well, your statement isn't quite as bigoted as the others - you show at least minimal tolerance toward Muslims and Sikhs. But I doubt that there are many Muslims and Sikhs for you to offend here. How would a member of any other religious group feel about what you said? Many religious people are well aware that religions can be "dishonest, arrogant and frankly offensive" - and they do their best to ensure that their own religious practices avoid those faults.

And I suppose you could say that many governments are "dishonest, arrogant and frankly offensive"; and that many (if not most) organizations of people are thus; and that many individuals are the same. Why single out religions? (or, at least, all religions other than Muslims and Sikhs)

Your complaint that I quoted you out of context is laughable. My quotation did not change the meaning of your statement in any way.
