The bigotry is more in the belief that unbelievers deserve Hell.Well. This is my opinion.
Some religious people may believe that people who dont adhere to their particular religious view will end up in hell. That is because they believe their salvation itself depends on believing in their view. This is an after life matter. Atheists believe that there there is no hell or heaven and all of that is nonsense. So anyone who believes they will go to heaven or hell are just wrong. Do you also consider that bigotry?
Some theists will believe that all sinners will end up in hell. Is that bigotry? After all, if one intends to, he can define "sinners" as one group and this as simple bigotry. This can go on to murderers. If one believes all murderers will go to hell, that can be considered bigotry?
If you take that route, you can keep going for ever. you can even call governments bigots for immigration issues, jails, etc etc.
I dont agree with this religious view of human salvation being only for one group of people and the rest are damned to hell for having a different belief. But I do not consider that bigotry.
BTW: comparing unbelievers to murderers - as you just did - could also be seen as an example of bigotry.
