    All religion is a threat to democracy. Nationalism just makes it a threat to other democracies too. Hatred always requires a target.

      I used to worry a out this, Paradox of Intolerance but then saw a discussion on the-site-that-shall-not-be-named that boiled down to “the bigots break the social contract, they stopped playing by the rules first, so you can be Intolerant of their intolerance. After all, they want to deny another’s existance. FUCK 'EM!”

        Yep. Tolerance is a social contract we all agree to participate in. They broke the contract, which means they are no longer bound to or protected by it. Therefore it is not wrong or paradoxical to not tolerate intolerance.

        Suck it Karl Popper! /s (e- Previously forgot the sarcasm tag.)

    In my country, absolutely not. Religion is a pretty subdued and private matter to begin with. It does not interfere with politics and attempts at doing so get shut down pretty quickly.

    Or did you mean to ask in the context of a specific country, Op?
