Why are Christians bigots?
The question makes a generalization about Christians that is largely untrue. As with all faiths, there are a few who make harsh judgments based on their beliefs. Also, as with almost all faiths, their judgments go beyond the call of their own faith. The Christian faith has a core principle of forgiveness. Many other faiths share the same principle. Those few people who are unable to forgive and who are unable to tolerate other beliefs and values might not have their own faith quite right. The majority of Christians and those of other faiths go about their business quietly and with a grace that doesn't get them noticed. Those who are noticed are the ones that are more vocal and more keen to express their opinions and impose their beliefs on others. Those few cause judgments to be made about Christians generally despite their small numbers. One must not be quick to judge all Christians as bigots. That broad judgment in itself could be considered to be bigotry.

What is an example of religious toleration?
"Religious toleration" may imply reluctant or paternal acceptance of 'wrong' faiths, but I am sure the intention of this question refers to religious tolerance. This occurs when the followers of a religion, and even the leaders of religion, accept that other faiths are equally valid, even if they do not believe in the tenets of those faiths.Religious tolerance exists when a Taoist priest explains his religion by starting, "We believe ...", rather than simply asserting a belief as if undisputed truth, as some others do.Religious tolerance exists when religious leaders accept the beliefs of others and do not seek to change the laws of the land to suit their own beliefs.And an ancient example of religious tolerance surely is when the pagan Roman Emperor, and therefore chief priest of the pagan faith, Severus Alexander (222-235 CE), placed the statues of Abraham and of Christ in his domestic chapel as a mark of respect for two minority religions.
Where does a person go when they die?
It depends on your beliefs or non-beliefs. -- further -- Some faiths say (and all we have is what they say, as no person has ever presented proof of whatever it is that happens) that we are reincarnated, some say our lives here 'earn' us either heaven or hell, and others say other things. Some faiths have died out, and that leaves us concerned for what happened those who thought they were going to Valhalla, for instance. What happened to the afterlife for people whose faiths are 'invalid' is an interesting question. some say they are reborn in. some say they are living their life again in an another universe.
How are muslims treated in foreign countries?
In most democratic countries, Muslims are treated exactly like any other citizen or visitor to that country, they are free to worship, dress as they wish and have full rites in law equal to everyone else.It must however be pointed out that these freedoms are not reciprocated in all Muslim countries at present, where believers in other faiths are currently being attacked and people can not dress as they wish. This is a shame because the Muslim faith requires tolerance of other faiths, especially those of the book.
