So right now- in your local public school, with your tiny minority of Muslims, if they somehow talk the schoolboard into having a nice local mullah in to pray to Allah at the public middle school, you're cool with that?

Since they don't generally allow Christians to do that, yes, I'd have a problem with it. BTW something like that has happened in the Houston area.

I mean if not, you just want to bully folks in to putting up with your religion,

Toleration does mean putting up with people.

I mean they like to bully folks in to observing their religion too. Just because they are the majority in their countries doesn't mean they should bully folks, right?

What people do in other countries is out of our control but I don't think non-Christians are bullied by having to put up with Christians.

We are talking about using the state to further religion.

Personally I'm talking about using the state to try to suppress religion.

But then I dislike all religions equally.

I don't dislike all religions equally. I respect some non-Christian religions. I probably have the least respect for Islam for obvious reasons.
