Any group will include anyone under certain conditions. Among all religions and even science, there are ignorant biases toward persons based on appearances or shallow information...
Human beings do not have very sophisticated minds for resisting and grooming group information to make sure it is really true before accepting it.

Most fundies and most radio talk show hosts (who
vomit into the microphone about "morality")
violate the 9th Commandment almost constantly.
For, to blather about morality before truly understanding the causes of things is to
"BEAR false witness" about things they know not.

Puts a different slant on the word "take."
