If you don't give a rats arse what people believe (so long as it's not foisted on you), then why waste the energy on tackling the belief itself? It's the pushing of said belief which us the problem, and I'd be with you on the picket lines for that one.
Because if the belief is rendered as ineffective as it actually is for everyone, then we'll no longer have to fight these battles with those desperate to force it on us? Because even in the private sphere, that belief is harmful, to children and women and gays, among others? Because we like people, and it makes us sad to see them whiling their lives away on a reward that's never going to come?
Because debate is fun?
