You don't have to tolerate intolerance to be tolerant. This is why Democracy is "NOT" woke.
Imagine Hitler wanted people to respect his beliefs and opinions because he was in a Democratic country.
The religious are the same. They want people to respect their rights not to respect other people's beliefs or way of life.
Somehow they are right, for they are God's chosen people. (yes the Arab God that spoke to Moses)
Just like the extreme Arabs who think everyone should convert to Muslim or be killed. It is an intolerant attitude, and therefore not compatible with Democratic culture. Christians can only see this with Muslims, but not themselves in the mirror.
Ideology is subjective.
The problem is that a religious person struggles to differentiate between beliefs and facts...
This is why they going extinct in Democratic countries. They cant adapt to the 21st century, without the certainty of a supreme being is guiding their actions, and the moral advantage they thought they had.
The younger someone is, the less religious they are - at least by statistical average. The religious redneck has become an endangered species and what we have seen the last few years is their "X-men Last Stand" or the Capitol Avengers?

Well I know both, at best you can say the religious tend to be anti vax from the people I know but it is not a rule.I know plenty of theists that are vaxxed
Being an Atheist does mean that all Atheists belive exactly the same things. We have different opinions on most things just like theists don't all believe the same thing.
More than a few on here think that there are only 2 camps, far right and far left and nothing in-between.
Which is bizarre as most people I know are more centre, in fact the only far right nut jobs I know are on this site and I have never met any far left nutbars but I am sure there are some out there
