How about: "Stuff your religion, I'm on holiday anyway. Have a nice day!"? Would "getting along" engender not taking offense to this remark?

I think the intolerance is a spin off of the insecurities of being in 'one-road religions'
where much of a person's validation comes from the number of believers share their views and the number of people they prosalytize to.


I'm concentrating on my own walk.

"Can't we all just get along?"

apparently not. We never have. If we were capable of that, why did Jesus have to harp so much about who we should consider to be our neighbor? Frankly, it makes me sick that so many Christians (who, by the way, should be tolerant and "neighborly") are so damnably entitled to that special place at God's board. That kind of thing gives the rest of us a bad name.

So I think US is pretty tolerant to other non-mainstream religions; compared to some countries in the world.
My bosses boss at my old job demanded that he write me up for wearing my pentagram to a volunteer charity day, which we were not in uniform. (We would pump peoples gas and wash thier windshields if they donated to Riley's Hospital for Children). When I refused to, and told her it is a symbol of my religion, and other's wear thier cross, so I feel I have the right (actually, I knew I had the right, just didn't mention it) to wear the symbols of my religion, she wanted me fired. When I told her if I am fired, I will write every news paper I possibly can about the issue, and will take her to court over it, she reluctantly decided to let me wear it.

I have also been told I demonically possesed, in great danger of hell, despretly needing saved "before the flames of hell and Satan had a permanent grasp of my soul", I need to "wake up and live in reality", and have been denied roadside assistance by bigots who think helping the Pagan get his car out of the ditch is wrong. If you live in a Bible belt/Conservative state, anything but mainstream is heavily intolerated.

FYI, I have even had intolerance be shown towards me for my religion on this forum before. So have many others.

Uh, it's everyday people who vote for politicians, and it's everyday people who are NOT tolerant of atheists.
