Do fundamentalists have 'tolerance,' not to mention 'respect,' for abortionists, queers, women who are sexually active 'outside of marriage,' non-believers, believers of different denominations + religions, and so on?

I really doubt that they do.

Aren't their intolerance and disrespect for the rest of us one of the major problems?

Are criticisms of religion to be forbidden for American Leftists because we must 'respect' and 'tolerate' the religious thoughts of all believers, including those of the believers who say abortion is murder?
