People are free to believe what they want. People who believe similarly are more than welcome to get together because of this.
But when people, who want nothing to do with those believes, are forced to partake in the delusion in one way or another, I say stop.
It is never right to hold your own fairy tale in such high esteem that you start a war over it, lure the weak/ignorant/uneducated with false promises and threats, knock on people's doors disrupting the domestic peace, keep yourself above the government and don't pay taxes because of it, cram your own political agenda upon those who don't share your belief, bypass scientific evidence just because it doesn't fit with your particular deity or think yourself morally superior when you're not. That is the extent of my tolerance.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
