(36,922 posts)42. In theory, yes. In practice that rarely happens.
Instead of a war on Abrahamic religions as those who have a pervasive victim mentality like to pretend, what we really have is a war on science which has been raging for thousands of years. When you look around at who is pushing back on that war, it isn't the neutralists who keep claiming those things can co-exist, it's the free thinkers who are calling bullshit in public forums including using the legal system where necessary. So while the zealots are using their religious privilege as leverage over the freethinkers, the best thing you can say about the neutralists is they are apathetic about enabling such privilege to begin with.
