It's the "I'm religious* so my views are immune to human rights/evidence and should have a special place in government" that annoys me.

Definitely not where I'd usually sit. But I'm trying harder to take on board differing views. The 100mph nutters that make up the right and inarticulate angry rants of *c*onservatives make it hard, so it's always good when you come across something more normal.

*and if atheists go off on one on that, and want to ban religion I'm against it too. Funny enough though there's a stigma against being openly atheist in the UK in politics...and against being openly gay too.
