You're right. We should quietly accept the kid-glove treatment that religion gets in society as its influence grows and destabilises the world around us. It's about time that society started reacting like this to every bit of religious idiocy - ie, all of it. Somehow it's not politically correct to point out that so called religious extremists are neither such a minority as it's polite to say, or in fact that far removed in beliefs from so-called religious moderates. When I hear Muslim commentators for instance talking about how the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people who are in no way represented by the actions of a few crazies, my thoughts immediately go to Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, etc. The list of predominantly Muslim countries reads like a Who's who of dictatorships, sham "democracies" and Human Rights violators incorporated.
It's only unfortunate that this speaking out that you hate is so rare. The entire religious institution needs dismantling - if not now, then certainly in the aftermath of World War 3, which it will no doubt be the cause of.
