This might equally as well be titled as Are religions under attack by the secular, as Lord Carey has recently claimed of christians in the UK.

From the article;
" some religious groups seem to believe that religious freedom is an absolute right. They claim that religious freedom allows them to force their beliefs on others, and to discriminate against marginalised groups in society. When attempts are made to restrict their ability to do this, they create a false narrative of persecution, in which they cast themselves as the victims. However, the reality is that they are not victims, but aggressors, who are either trying to hold on to religious privileges, or to win back privileges which they used to enjoy before society became increasingly secularised.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Freedom is being allowed to hold your own beliefs and practice your own rituals (providing they are deemed morally acceptable by society). Forcing ones beliefs on others is outside that but a certain amount of having them try to "save you" is to be expected and tolerated for they think they do you the greatest favour of your existence.
The question is, what is the right balance, for we all have to tolerate in others that which we are unhappy about, so we can get on as a civilized society.

This is the sort of thing that really bugs me - no pun intended.

If covered arms are more likely to spread infection then religion or not - they're more likely to spread infection. The interests of the patient should be paramount and if it isn't then these people should find another job. Shame on the people who bent to their will.

I agree that people should have the right to believe what they want.
However the religious demand further, much further.
They try to outlaw any criticism of their beliefs. It is interesting that the right to religion is considered sacrosanct yet the right to not follow religion is not afforded the same protections in many places.
They expect society to be run on their interpretation of their holy myths regardless of the hard evidence of the damage their faith based beliefs already cause.
