5. It is no longer your personal religious view if you’re bothering someone else.

I agree for the most part, however,

5. It is no longer your personal religious view if you’re bothering someone else.

I don’t think this should really apply because you could state that the entire basis of some religions are now null and void since they bother other people and their religious view points, which then kind of defeats the entire purpose of the rest of the argument because once you invalidate religion, how can you make an argument to be religious and tolerant at the same time?

I took the author to mean “bothering” in the sense of carrying your belief into someone else’s personal space, where you pester, assail, or interfere with their activities without invitation. Not “bothering” in the sense of finding a stance offensive when contemplated from afar (or anear). 

I’m bothered when missionaries knock on my door and disturb my Sunday. I’m bothered when street preachers step in my path and shove a pamphlet in my hands. I’m bothered when someone lobbies hard for legislature meant only to impose their moral beliefs on my activities.

 My $0.02!

1. If Jesus did not mention a subject, it cannot be essential to his teachings.
2. You are not being persecuted when prevented from persecuting others.
3. Truth isn’t like wine that gets better with age. It’s more like manna you must recognize wherever you are and whoever you are with.
4. You cannot call it “special rights” when someone asks for the same rights you have.
5. It is no longer your personal religious view if you’re bothering someone else.
6. Marriage is a civil ceremony, which means it’s a civil right.
7. If how someone stimulates the pubic nerve has become the needle to your moral compass, you are the one who is lost.
8. To condemn homosexuality, you must use parts of the Bible you don’t yourself obey. Anyone who obeyed every part of Leviticus would rightly be put in prison.
9. If we do not do the right thing in our day, our grandchildren will look at us with same embarrassment we look at racist grandparents.
10. When Jesus forbade judging, that included you.
