Peace is maintained, and everybody is still free to think what he wants in private, with the public space not needing to bother for either the one or the other. And that's how it should be in a secular society, with any kind of relgion there is and atheism as well. Keep your oh so precious convictions pro of contra to yourselves, where they belong. They belong nowhere else than to the inside of your mind. Nature, the world, the cosmos give nothing for them, and many people live here that do not want to need giving time and awareness for them either.

Play your radio at volume levels where you do not bother your neighbours.

I would simply lock this and similiar threads.
By that logic, no one should ever discuss anything for want of keeping peace with those who see an opposing point of view. I imagine that this would specifically apply to topical discussion involving matter that is held in near religious conviction by it's participants, as in politics, economics, diplomacy and global terrorism. In fact, I'll make a point of reminding you of this the next time you begin to rail against Islam which, given how frequently it occurs, will probably be sometime later today.

Let the religious guys have their thread. I said that I think it is a bad idea, but I also say the same thing about politics and that doesn't seem to stop anyone, you included. As long as no one is breaking any rules, then all is well and you can just avoid clicking on the thread if it bothers you. That's what I do.
