    Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers just to name two american. These are not only based on religion.

    Both far left and far right political beliefs are also problematic in the same way. See the pronoun debacle in Canada for instance.

      Flat Earthers and Anti-vaxxers have huge overlap with religion.

      See the pronoun debacle in Canada for instance.

      So asking people to use the right pronouns is equivalent to making rape victims carry their baby to term? I think you have some fucked up bothsideisim here.

        That’s not at all what I said. I just listed few examples of where beleifs have gone too far as to infringe the rights of others who don’t share that belief. I haven’t even taken a stand on any of those issues. I haven’t even compared them.

          If we must compare them: Yes, I agree that the violations made by religious fanatics are way more worrying than these others.

          It doesn’t make them not fit the list of things that are problematic though. You asked for more examples of beliefs. You got them.
