Sir Elton the Tolerant

From Drudge:

Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely -- because he believes it promotes hatred of gays.

Speaking to the Observer Music Monthly Magazine the singer said religion lacked compassion and turned people into "hateful lemmings".

This is just another hypocritical rant by the so-called tolerant set. Elton has no problem preaching that we all should be tolerant, but ol' Candle in the Wind doesn't seem to want to practice it himself. To borrow his logic, if one wants religion banned because it promotes a "hatred of gays," then how is that so different from someone who wants homosexuality banned because it promotes a hatred of religion, as exemplified by E.J.? And if in Sir Elton's example one is made into a homophobe by organized religion, does this make him a religiophobe because of his sexuality?
