It only works when people refuse to take a zero-sum attitude about religion, politics, sexual habits, etc. Those who believe that they lose if anything different ever wins or even exists, those are the root of your problem.

But absolutism has always been popular in the human psyche. People like to be told they are special and righteous and better than everyone else, so there is no need to tolerate or respect anyone different. It's like the football team with their banner.
