If an atheist thinks abortion or euthanasia is abhorrent, then they must admit it is their opinion and other have a right to their opinion. Hopefully the "others" opinions don't matter more than yours when it comes to your baby or your grandmother. A theist has no such obligation to recognize someone else's opinion.


I wonder if you feel the same way about political systems which lack a monarchy. Are modern secular governments likewise deficient in value/meaning/purpose?
