JMO here...I don't think that "prejudice against" someone necessarily 
equates to believing that some of their actions are morally wrong 
according to your own beliefs.  

I think I can believe that someone is behaving wrongly, without being 
prejudiced towards them.  I believe that I personally behave wrongly 
quite a bit, but I hope that others will still be friends with me and 
like me because of other (hypothetical) good qualities I have.  

In other words, if people don't like me, I hope it's because I'm 
cranky, not because I'm Christian/white/female/heterosexual/etc.   To 
me, prejudice is "I don't like you because you're a member of this 
group", not "I believe that some things you do are wrong, but I'm not 
going to get all fussed about it because I really do like you as a 
person, I can see that you don't believe the same way as I do, and 
it's not worth jeapordizing (sp?) our friendship over."
