I get you for sure. My thing is this as long as there's a space where I can not participate in any of these things should I chose not to then I see no reason to trample down others beliefs etc. Of course there's at least 2 things to consider here as provisos Firstly, that their beliefs don't seek to shut down that space I can inhabit( sic) economically , "spiritually", philosophically etc And secondly, and more difficultly (nuance required) that whilst pursuing their own beliefs ( whether received or self imagined) they aren't seriously damaging themselves. Tricky that one. My enemy's enemy may be my friend, my enemy or indeed neutral. And that same enemy's enemy may shift category according to circumstance or issue. So even a reprehensible imho belief set can be a fellow traveller versus say nuclear or biological war or genocide or crimes against humanity or global wealth extraction and control of others destiny/ space.
