I am not pointing at any particular religion, they are all tarred with the same brush. But because of the category 'religion' some philosophies are given prescience in britain over others. Every morning in the media, like 'thought for the day on radio 4' religious leaders can spout their nonsense, but atiests are bared from the programme. Religion is part of the curriculum in schools, and is taught without reference to any atheist position. Now that is not an even field.
Now if we replace the term religious toleration with pylosophical toleration, so my position is given the same creadance as any other I might go along with it, but for the fact that philosophy advances through argument so to limit agument would adversly afect the whole area.
So my position is have whatever views you want, but you cannot claim privalage because you have those views. A follower of Abraham, and a follower of Hitler are both nut-jobs and I will say so whenever, and wherever I want. Now if you disagree argue with me don't tolerate it. Don't sweep things under the carpet, that is the sure fire way to turn a belief into a desire for physical attack.
