Is there a double standard between criticizing Evangelicals and other religions?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

I would argue criticizing Evangelicals as a social group is acceptable, given their remarkable penchant for bigotry and hypocrisy. Discriminating against them based exclusively  upon religion, however, is neither acceptable (though criticizing many of their wacky religious views is), although very few people actually do discriminate against them.
