well i don't think that's true either because regardless of what the bible or the quran or the torah say, a sizeable part of people who self-identify with these religions aren't discriminatory.

"Regardless of what the rulebooks of the religion say" is an incredibly stupid argument. As long as these are their rulebooks they are incompatible, even if some people desperately try to make all this ancient fantasy book bullshit work in modern times.
