ANY attempts to bring ANY flavor of sky daddy or universal school marm or stern overlord into the public sphere and have it fobbed off on the public as "the one true god" should be met with utter disdain and outrage by everyone - religious or not.
For my Christian friends, unless you are prepared to advocate for daily bowing to Mecca as well as school prayers, SHUT THE FUCK UP and SIT DOWN. The same goes for any of my Jewish friends wishing to expel Palestinians or Arab friends looking to exterminate Jews. For my Hindu brothers and sisters of India, exterminating Pakistanis is likewise anathema! Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland seemed to have found a way to actually STOP killing each other and the unsteady peace has largely held for 20+ years now.
It IS possible to coexist without violence, but only when we allow freedom of AND from religion to dominate the public space.
Treat your religious beliefs the same as a penis - it is ok to love yours, but sharing it without consent with someone who does NOT have one is absolutely not allowed! It is fine to enjoy yours (again with other consenting adults only and ONLY in appropriate venues, not on public streets or gatherings!!!) and I truly do hope it is essential to your identity as well. BUT... do not give in to the impulse to show it to the general public at any time or share it inappropriately, do not claim yours is superior to all other makes, models and sizes and NEVER get it out around children, EVER!
And therein I shall have peace and wish universal favor upon you as well! Just remember - 99+% of all species to EVER live are now extinct. 99% of all gods ever imagined or created in man's image to ward away fear of the unknown are likewise extinct. If you are trying to revive the cult of Apollo or the church of Osiris or the congregation of Jupiter, you'll probably find a lot less comfort from perceived numbers and you should remain cognizant of that too!
