I'll take point to remind you that, besides #1 and #4, prejudice was neither implied or implicitly stated.

    It would behoove you to work on your reading comprehension before senselessly lashing out.
    So you admit to explicitly utilizing prejudice in your argument, and continue to say that stereotypes are perfectly acceptable? Stereotypes are by definition NOT scientific (various definitions include that "that belief may or may not accurately reflect reality" as well as "a set of inaccurate, simplistic generalizations about a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly"). But that's fine if that's the route you choose. As I said, you're welcome to your opinions. It just speaks of character.

    It was you who first decided to rail again men, women, religion and others, and devolve groups and ideas into single, one dimensional masses. I consider that senselessly lashing out as much as anything else, and, besides that, you have yet to argue my overall point: your attitude does not help.
