So railing against those in charge would seem a better policy
We often have this 'discussion' and you're probably as bored by it as I am. I hope so anyway. Because it's not really a discussion at all.
When you refer to "atheist intolerance" what you mean is their occasional mockery of religious ideas, their sarcasm and laughter and - I'm afraid to say - their heavy duty research about things like the origins of the universe. What I call "religious intolerance" is none of these things. I'm absolutely happy for them to mock atheism and laugh at it. I really am. I feel sorry for them when they do it, but it doesn't bother me an iota and I certainly wouldn't call it "intolerance."
What I mean by religious intolerance are things like blasphemy laws, the murder of 'kaffirs' and 'infidels', the outlawing of non-belief, the replacement of representative government by theocracy and the operation of religious inquisitions.
I'm well aware of the fact that most victims of religious intolerance are believers who happen to believe in the 'wrong' religion, or the 'wrong' version of the 'right' religion. But that's why I would love to extend the joys of secular government to all of them. Then, under the benign and happy governance of atheists and secularists, they will be free to believe whatever they like with the only proviso that they won't
force others, including their kids, to believe it too.
But, naturally, I can't guarantee the laughter will stop. Only the gunfire of their fellow believers.
