faith based beliefs, or any of it.

This election has truly stoked my atheism and I realize that "accepting" or "being tolerant" of someone else's faith is complete idiocy, including and especially the root of such "belief =psuedo-facts = obedience to misinformation" which is in a word, RELIGION.

If religious beliefs are to be respected for example, then so do beliefs like "Obama is Kenyan," and "Dems and Pubs obstruct on an equal basis," "same sex marriage will ruin the morality of the nation," and so on.

Most of the truly heinous stuff that killed the Repubs chances was related to social religious regressive policies. If I'm no longer going to give them courtesy for their beliefs, then I've got to stop doing it for all who believe in 1st - 20th Century myths.
