Is it right for people like Richard Dawkins to go round fighting
religion? Fiddly one. Fighting the excesses yes, but fighting against
all of it? If we believe people are deluded but their religion is doing
them good on the whole do we intervene? The vast majority of Christians
stick to themselves and live happily with people of other or no religion.

I'm for resisting the excesses and tolerating the rest, as you
suggest.. For instance, try to prevent religion from influencing
education and government. If religious people try to convert you,
rebut their views. Don't hide your own opinions, but don't force
them down other peole's throats.
