> Do you consider being a Christian something you do or is it a trait?

It doesn't really matter which, given that the GP was in response to a post about it being understandable to have hostility to "those with strong religious beliefs" not because of what those directly receiving the hostility do, but because of various things that "many with similar beliefs" do.

Whether or not "being a Christian" or "having strong religious beliefs" is "something you do" or "a trait", if you are hostile to people to which the description applies because other people who share that description do other things which justify hostility, that's bigotry.
