        Sometimes this extends into an assertion that no-one shld care what other ppl believe & even that its morally wrong or presumptuous to care

        I don't agree with this at all. It wld be wrong & presumptuous to badger ppl into talking to you abt what they believe if don't want to but

        It is still OK to care about what is true & the best ways to establish what is true. To be sceptical & argue for scepticism.

        In terms of *social acceptability*, it should be equally acceptable to argue that scepticism is good as it is to argue that faith is.

        Mustn't accept situation where ppl can speak of the value of faith uncontroversially but spking of value of scepticism is seen as offensive

        Where faith is important to some ppl & not an attack on sceptics but sceptical ways of thinking are mean-spirited attacks on people of faith

        Mean-spirited attacks on religious ppl & on sceptics do happen ofc but civil discussions arguing either case shld be equally acceptable.

        If these are moral beliefs they must be reflected in what they do.

        Yes but only the latter is anyone's business, the thinking goes.
