Yeah. I'm not what you call accommodationist; I've just got better things* to spend my spare energy on.

On the other hand, it's friends and acquaintances that I'm dealing with; we all overlook small things like philosophical differences (well, except at the pub) because doing so greases the social wheels. I don't tell people "I think you're an idiot for thinking that" because - actually, because I don't think those people are idiots: I've lots of evidence to the contrary, and anyway, their holding of an irrational belief costs me bugger-all.

Telling Ratzinger where to stick his rhetorical invention of "atheist extremism" might be a different matter, but I don't tend to bump into the pope over coffee at lunchtime very often.

* obviously you're smart enough to read this as a subjective value judgement of my hobbies as opposed to an objective assertion.
