Since Scientology doesn't think much of other religions, that's to be expected. After all, other religions are just "mocked up" from the images shown to our Thetans in their indoctrination by the evil Xenu.
It's not unusual in cults. There's a common thread of elitism and us-versus-them in most, if not all, such organizations. Also, when Scientologists use a word, it's quite possible they are using an internal Scientology meaning.
Bigotry = saying anything remotely bad against Scientology
Religious intolerance = suggesting that Scientology might have to abide by the same rules as everyone else
Ethical = conforming to Scientology rules and practices
Scientology is the only religion I know of that uses the word "reasonable" as a pejorative term.
