Answer 1

There are those who profess to be bible thumping right wing Christians who are the most intolerant and prejudicial people anywhere. usually, knowledge, education, and understanding can promote acceptance and tolerance. People need to develope a live and let live attitude. Sadly, we probably won't see the end of prejudice or racism in our life time. There will always be those who are just ignorant and bigoted. They refuse to look at anything other than what is in their own mind.
Good luck.. if that is your mission, I wish you well
