Being pro-religion & anti-scepticism is seldom regarded as being intolerant whilst being pro-scepticism & anti-religion is. Huge imbalance.

That's a matter of demographics. There are more religious people than skeptics, so the feelings of majority rule.

@kirbmarc Not necessarily. Its the case in the UK that ppl think it intolerant to be opposed to religion. There's a respect for it althoughpic.twitter.com/Hkr4U51V0i

Not being a religious person doesn't mean you're a skeptic. Most non-religious are sympathetic to religion or "spiritual".

I agree. What's important to me isn't identity as "skeptic", but secularism/separation between church and state.
