Your Definition
A form of bigotry that demands “proof” for any claim made by a targeted individual or group, while applying no such standard to oneself or one’s allies. The proof bigot moves goalposts, demands impossible forms of evidence (e.g., “prove your God exists”), and treats any failure to meet these demands as proof that the target is irrational or dishonest. It is a favored tactic in online debates against religious, spiritual, or metaphysical beliefs, often combined with psychiatric slurs. Proof bigotry hides behind the language of rationality while functioning purely as a weapon of exclusion.
