For example, when you have a family and children, you will have to accept, and respect ,their right to have a belief in Christianity if they want. Or would you disown them? Surely not? Don't you already have family members who have differing beliefs? Including in politics - which you mentioned in your post.

You also mention you come from Ireland? Surely then you understand how a lack of respect for religious beliefs and a lack of tolerance is a terrible thing?

Notice how you conveniently ignored everything in the post you 'replied to'.

It obvious that you also are defensive of the beliefs of others as you are insecure in your own beliefs. That is common in those who are not sure of themselves.

Fear is bad for you Judas. Let go of your fear.
