For what it's worth, I do have a problem with people who choose to believe in any particular deity, all of them
That's perhaps where you and I differ. I think one should make the differentiation between belief and fanaticism and I think it would be fair to say that there's been a degree of the latter displayed by both side of the argument on this particular thread. You mention the 9/11 terrorists but a counter-argument would be that Hitler, an atheist, committed atrocities on a completely different scale.

I don't necessarily see tolerance as a "Christian" value but a human one. I don't think that anyone has the right to prevent people from believing in whatever they choose, whether it's a deity, the Higgs boson or that, in fact, 42 is the ultimate answer.
