Seems like hard-core hate for anyone religious is fine in many circles. Is there a point where it becomes as problematic as other forms of bigotry? Not any specific religion necessarily just the disdain for the religious in general.

If you hate people simply for being religious, without respect for their beliefs, then that would be bigotry.
However, largely, the paradox of intolerance applies, especially if a given religious belief is being forced on the general populace. That is, if a religion or individual of a religion supports bigoted behavior/ beliefs (such as against human rights) then it isn’t wrong to say that you hate those beliefs and those who support them. This does include “simply” being a member of a church that actively promotes harmful beliefs since people are supporting those beliefs through their membership.
The reality is that many religions are problematic in these ways, so it isn’t bigoted to oppose bigotry-- but you should clarify beliefs first. Like The Satanic Temple? Rock on.
