But people justify their intolerance by their faith. Members of this board in the past have said "I have no personal problem with homosexuality, but the bible mandates it's a sin".
That's a belief that harms others. Lots of other examples exist where faith ######s equality in our society - women can't be priests, sex education is wrong, atheists are immoral, etc.
If people believe intolerant things but excuse them under the guise of "faith" - and society at large lets it pass - then we have a serious disconnect.
