My key value here isn't people who strongly feel their own view is right are ok to have their view, it's that my view specifically held by me only is right. That can't be wielded against me nor can I be hypocritical with such a view. Special pleading I already admitted to, and dismissed as irrelevant.
I'm not appealing to personal morality. I saying X is right, society should be based on X not Y. There is no appeal to anything except my own opinion.
"[...] my key value here is 'my view is right'."
Not only do you need to demonstrate that your views on anything are really right, you also need to justify imposing them by law. Otherwise you look like any other self-deluded twatwaffle.
I'm re-reading The Gulag Archipelago right now. You have no idea how similar your thinking is to the revtribunals. You probably don't know what that is at all.

Bullshit. I gave precisely $0.0 to any religious organization. I forced no people to attend church.
