I do not what you mean by "The point about liberalism is that you don't use coercion to enforce contested views about fundamentals." Much of the debate is about what really is fundamental, so in the absence of universal agreement, someone always is getting coerced. For some this is simply part of the social contract, a give and take of benefits and burdens. For others, we must then look for superceding moral reasons why coercion is acceptable.
