Look. You are not the boss of what other people think. Part of being an adult is being able to be around people you hate doing things you hate and shutting up long enough to collect a paycheck. Yeah sometimes you gotta put your foot down, but for the most part, you [i]must learn how to exist alongside other people.[/i] The people who put their foot down all the time are immature. The people who can put up with intellectual diversity are mature, and usually turn out smarter/wiser/richer for the effort. Adulting. Hooray.

Sure and in my professional life I deal with all manner of people who I am obligated to treat a professional manner. That is basic ethics. 

However, In my personal life or in the personal capacity of my professional life, I dont see that it is so clear cut. I get to choose who I associate with in my personal life and it seems cowardly to just pretend that we can draw up a politics and religion curtain and pretend those opinions don't exist. It is utilitarian to do so and it certainly is the option most people choose, but I don't know that it is the moral option.
