But very often people has their ideas so much concretised and so intensely identify with them, you may step on their foot, a sorry will heal that, but you step on their idea that wound will be permanent.
Religion is an idea taken too seriously, and that is why people can even kill for it.

@atheistrepublic is trying to prevent, reduce & even eliminate the wounds caused by people criticizing other people's ideas.
Sure..
Debate without insulting others and with an open mind is crucial to heal wounds
I appreciate your effort
"Respect is for people not ideas"
But what if people have lost the fine line between them and their ideas. They are essentially their ideas. When majority of population is living in their heads, they might not demand respect for themselves but their ideas, oh man ! That is far more important to them than who they are. Because who they are is defined by their ideas.
What actually is religion- essentially an idea and you see in the world what is happening, you disrespect an idea and you are gone.
I think the way education is imparted to the children is very important to correct the course of humanity.
