People should be free to believe whatever they want, call it a religion or whatever they choose, no matter how bizarre and unrealistic it may or may not be. The trouble starts when they try to (and do) impose their beliefs and belief-based value systems on others.
That trouble boils over when they demand that their gov’t incorporate their beliefs into law— especially so when at the same time demanding the gov’t stay out of their affairs.

100% spot on, etim. It’s not the belief systems themselves; it’s their imposition that’s the root of the problem. Whether in government or in general, I’ve always had an issue with adults imposing their views on others.

And in regards to government, yeah, it seems that many don’t step back far enough to see how completely contradictory their positions are (ie: we demand that you force others to comply through mandated law, but we vehemently oppose overreach).
