    Your initial post said religion and spirituality so I made some assumptions on your meaning.

      People are incredibly intolerant of anyone who they believe to have “spiritual” or “religious” beliefs, so I get it.

        It’s not intolerance of spirituality and religion, There are plenty of neutral religions almost universally accepted as peaceful and left alone. Abrahamic religions unfortunately have a history of validating violence against nonbelievers. Anyone not in their accepted belief system is sub human and therefore fair game to treat as such, even other if not more so other competing sects.

          I justified my thought without using a single specific religion. I referenced historical evidence, and using that have a pretty sound argument for my theory.

          What I got in return was ignorant and intolerant people who think Religion and those who follow it are stupid, refused to hear my points even though I am not religious and have stated that, and continued to argue even when I have made it clear we agree.

          That absolutely is intolerance of spirituality and religion because I literally said “Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.” without citing the “bad ones”.

          Which is bigotry by the way.
