Does Non-Faith Deserve Respect?

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

Your failing may not be in the definitions of the words but in the structure and use of the words. When I said "must" I was not implying lawful subjection. I was outlining what is needed for a transcendence of freedom of religion (which by the way also mean freedom from religion; typically there is little need to point this out.) I am not talking about a movement towards law but a movement away from law.

You suggest a kind of social agreement or ethical attitude ?

Also there is a difference here that I am talking about. Mere tolerance is what we have now and it just does not do the job very well at all.

I am not sure if we do really have tolerance. I would argue that tolerance is exactly what we do not have. But then again this might be because i see tolerance perhaps as a wider term.

Just so you know this is way off mark. Not even close to what I was talking about.

Ok, I can accept that. No offense meant.

There is a difference between respecting the person, respecting the person's rights, respecting the person's choices, and respecting the person's methodology.

Talk about making relationships complicated...

I am both sorry and appalled that you find the distinctions overly complicated.

Back a couple of pages ago, some were saying that if atheism was a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby. I had a thought- I don't go around telling people that I don't collect stamps (don't worry, I don't believe atheism is a religion).
*The above was not meant to be taken seriously.

I guess you would be.
