I believe in letting everyone make their own choices, believe what they want to believe, and form their own opinions. I also believe in respecting those people's decisions no matter what just as I would expect them to respect mine. Unless that decision is either harmful to others or outright blatant stupidity. In my experience it is the radicals on both the religious and aethist sides that fall under these categories. Be it by blindly following an ideal to the point of making idiotic arguments as to why they are right and others are wrong, all the way down to harming others by forcing their opinions down each others throats, taking away or trying to take away people's freedoms due to different beliefs or even simply killing others for different beliefs. Generally people who are not radical do not do any of these things, however, and people should learn to just let them live their damn lives.
