Let us look at the belief that a life starts at the moment of conception. Apparently harmless idea until something like Stem cell research comes along. Not so harmless anymore. I'm not sure what's the current situation regarding that, but it's a good example to convey what I mean. Homophobia is another when talking about gay marriage.

Having unjustifiable beliefs about the world will inevitably bite you in the ass, eventually, as well as cause problems for everyone else. All we can do is try and mitigate that to the best of our abilities. Keeping your head down and letting people believe whatever they want for unjustifiable reasons is not the way to do it.
