Yes, I believe putting a religious WV into political action is bad for humanity. I believe lots of things are bad for humanity and would rather they didn't exist.
Why do you get to act on your beliefs and they don't? And none of this according to your standards bullshit because that's just another way of claiming that your beliefs have privileges that theirs don't.
Do you even understand what hypocrisy is?
The religious think that your standards and worldview are dangerous just like you see theirs.
I claim my beliefs have privileges others don't. That's part of my beliefs.
For example, I'm against child sacrifice. Some medieval ancient mesoamerican religionists were all for it. I think my view should have all manner of privilege over theirs.
I don't believe this is hypocrisy. It would be hypocrisy if I said that, claimed those privileges, then sacrificed some children.
However, although I reject the accusation of hypocrisy, I fully accept that I am holding my POV to be correct and others wrong and desire my POV to be enacted in society and harmful incorrect views to be excluded. That I admit to.
In short, why do I get to act on my beliefs and they don't? Because my views are good and theirs are bad. Most people hold exactly the same view. It only varies in terms of content, not construction.
