Who decides
Of course, refusing to recognize the rights of people of other faiths (or no faith) makes sense if your religion is founded on the belief that everyone else is wrong.
But aren't the some 4,200 world religions almost all based on the idea that theirs is the one true religion, and the others are somehow lacking?
And aren't the some 40,000+ denominations of Christianity also based on the idea that they are right and the other 39,999+ are wrong somewhere?
Too bad they don't have some empirical means of determining which is right and which is wrong. They could straighten out this mess!

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
