Every person can espouse a belief but every belief can and should be evaluated and critiqued. People do not have the right to act on all beliefs. This also means that governments should remain secular.

This includes a person\"s right to not be murdered, raped, imprisoned without just cause (violating another person\'s rights), kidnapped, attacked, tortured, etc. This also protects a person\'s freedom of speech and freedom to dress and represent themselves as they so choose.

Utter certainty makes extreme acts much easier to rationalize. Observing this stricture will prevent you from unjustly harming others and inadvertently deceiving yourself.

once a fundamental belief is adopted by the brain, it use it to make sense of reality. it's not so easy to get the mind to abandon it since many other beliefs rely on this fundamental one. Understanding this help us stop shaming people, and begin reaching them.

Far too many people defend their opinions without any reasons. They hold onto their own ideas as treasures despite a lack of evidence to support them.
