I get that. Which is why I noted the legal angle.

But religion is protected for many reasons - employment, primarily -- but this is "just" a discussion. Words going back and forth. Much like at a football game.

Seems to be a lot of reverence for a person's religion (if its the dominant religion) but not so much for other differences.

(but thanks for weighing in; I am not trying to be confrontative. Just trying to figure out if its a contradiction for anyone)
