I am perfectly fine with this until the pious attempt to use the power of the state to control my behavior based solely on their religious sensitivities. Making it illegal for everybody to purchase alcohol on Sunday is an example.
I'm talking about this I'm not advocating that you randomly start calling people out that's stupid but if your rights are being threatened by this assholes you must take your stand. If you don't say anything you automatically agree.
MindForgedManacles: Teaching evolution at class seemly does not work,respectfully talking to them does not work ether are there any other options left? The only thing that could work is to advocate a secular state or even more extremist standards like
state atheism. This could make some progress,but how can we reach this goal?
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
