It’s actually incredible to think about how much we actually accommodate religion as a society. There’s a list of like six very specific delusions we’ve decided are ok and if you make too much noise about it then you are the asshole.
My policy is that this accomodation ends the second you try to legislate the delusion onto others, at which point I no longer need to be respectful of a personal belief, and am allowed to treat the matter with the same level of objective rigor as anything else.
