If your idea of compromise involves giving serious consideration to people's assertions, assumptions or interpretations of what a god or ancient religious book has to say on the subject, then yes, I'm opposed to that. Any compromise should be the result of well-supported scientific evidence and reality-based moral evaluations.
No problem with your first point, was just curious. Thanks for clarifying.
Now with your second point...whether you believe in a higher power or not (it's pretty clear you don't), that doesn't mean everyone else that does is immediately an inferior perspective. If science supported a higher power then 100% of the population would probably believe :)
You come off as a little obnoxious by saying "If you can't prove your god exists then you don't get to make decisions based upon your faith." A person's faith drives them to do many different things. Should they stop doing mission trips to countries in need because they can't scientifically prove their higher power?
You tend to focus on the negatives of a persons faith, which is really unfortunate.
