It does feel a bit analogous to criticizing religion, as though somehow a group of people or set of ideas can be exempt from disagreement.


More analogous to saying if you don't like one religion you're free to try another.

I don't expect eBay to cater to my banned Dr Seuss book needs.


I guess, maybe, but that's untrue for a tremendous amount of people, and is that a sentiment that you'd expect me to get behind?


You think it's untrue that a lot of people want freedom of religion? I don't follow.


I feel like we're both reading each other's comments in a completely different way than intended. I think it's not unreasonable to suggest that many people globally don't want freedom of religion, but I was saying that many people currently don't have the freedom to leave theirs, whether legally or for other reasons.


> many people globally don't want freedom of religion

Are you saying they don't want freedom of religion because they are happy with no religion or are happy with theirs? That may be true for folks who've never experienced anything different from the way they were raised. I think the majority would like the freedom to choose something different when one thing is not working for them.
