Even the Crusades were about wealth as much as about piety.
But yeah others have summed it up, your problem is with a person not with religion as a whole. You are stereotyping. I can find atheists who are racist backed up by a misunderstanding of "science" just like you can find religious people who are intolerent based on misunderstanding of their religious tenants. The argument works both ways.
If you really want to achieve something, you should take the matter up with whatever sort of student representatio you have and get some kind of education going. Intolerance usually stems from ignorance and things like talks about "gay awareness" can actually help.
