It matters a great deal; the tolerant society I see around me can become the precursor to a truly emancipated culture, or it can become yet another in a long line of cultures of belief. Your claim is akin to saying that it doesn't matter whether the doctors or the inmates rule the asylum, as either way someone is locked up in the cells.
