The issue is not religion - it's religion and politics. As long as religions aren't too coercive of their members, I'm happy for people to do what they want. But, once religion gets involved in politics I have no need to be tolerant or nice about it. I can be tolerant of your religion without being tolerant of your politics. That's the issue.
It should concern us all how easily W. & Co. can convince people that a vote against them is a vote against God, Country, Marriage, blah blah blah. Atrios has an excellent rant.
