food for thought....???

Indeed! Whole new perspective which must apply to all religions - orthodoxy without the zealotry!

moderates protect the faith of fundamentalists from public scorn... liberals - who aren’t sure what they believe - deny the moderates a proper collision with scientific rationality.
- Sam Harris

In light of the above then, each end of the rquation is considered extremism?

All religion should be a personal, private matter, to be shared with family, friends and the interested.

Faith that demands that external compliance be imposed on others is empty, hollow, suffocating and destructive to the faith itself.
