In any place where one religion is dominant,

[MineralMan]

It is incumbent on adherents of that religion to ensure that minority religions are as free to operate as the dominant religion. It is only by that example that a a religion can ensure that it is free to operate in places where it is not the dominant religion.

Reciprocity is a common principle and doctrine of all modern religions. If it is not honored, religions are worth little, and are useful only in maintaining the power of the dominant religion in places where it is already dominant.

If you would have your religion treated well everywhere, treat all other religions well where you are.

2. Unfortunately, even for many liberal believers, this "tolerance" ends up becoming:

"The rest of you need to TOLERATE expressions of my faith, even if they are constitutionally questionable, because otherwise you'll piss believers off and then it will be atheists' fault when we lose elections."

3. Humans, one and all.

And what a crazy mix of them, at that. Life's interesting, but not predictable.

Still, being an atheist helps. You know everyone either hates you or is suspicious of you, so you always know where you stand.
