I think that a major personalized part of the issue is allowing one to separate oneself from religious views to support the freedom that allows one to keep those views sacred.
I am free to be religious. In our language, the freedom part comes first.
This ultimately means that I need to respect other religions and their views, in order for mine to be accepted.
Ultimately, to maintain the free society I want to live and practice my religion in, every other religion
(however well publicized: Shamanism, animism, Wicca, Christianity and Islam and Hinduism and Buddhism and Judaism AND ALL THEIR SECTS, and many MANY others)
all have a place and gets to share top billing.
The same ought to go for MANY secular views.
Talk about a mess.
I would not want to live anywhere else.
