Sometimes ppl say 'It doesn't matter what ppl believe. It matters what they do.' This is a perfectly reasonable attitude to have. However...

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.

however, i do find that people, especially tend to view skeptical view/ discussion as an attack.

Yes. Much as I hate the word 'privilege,' we do live in a society that privileges religious belief over secular ideas.
