...I respect all religions as they inevitably encourage their follower to lead virtuous lives. ... I do believe that freedom of expression works both ways. If those of a secular bent choose not to believe, fine, but in doing so they should not inhibit the practises of those who do (of whatever faith). Those who do believe have every right to do so, and observe their practices, provided they do not force them on others who are not receptive to such things.
That is what I was trying to say... I guess it just came out wrong...
With one small change that is...
...they do not try to force them on others...
