Perspective reversed

The word "bigot" is defined by dictionary.com as:

"a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race"

Professor Rorty's quotation below is so provocative.  Was the highly credentialed professor intolerant of his students' parents' religious ideas?  Was he a bigot by this definition?  Does he sound a bit vicious?  Just saying.
