   People who say, "I'm fine with people being religious so long as people keep their religious beliefs to themselves," don't seem to realize that it's impossible for anyone to keep their beliefs, religious or otherwise, to themselves. As long as we're living in a society, within proximity of at least one other person, our personally held beliefs will impact how we interact with the people around us. People can't "keep their beliefs to themselves." They always come out, one way or another.

     Yes. I never stated the contrary. All I stated was that it's impossible for people to keep their beliefs to themselves because our beliefs are always expressed in how they impact the ways in which we treat other people.

     @Radical_EgoCom and yet societies exist with conflicting beliefs, do they not?

     That is what is generally meant. My point was that it is impossible to literally keep (religious) beliefs to oneself.

     @Radical_EgoCom I think what most people mean by that is to not try to force them to agree with you.
