In my opinion, this would help stem a lot of the hatred towards certain religions (thinking mainly of the Muslim religion). Obviously not all of it, but I think it would lessen it and if done correctly, could make people more tolerant of differing views.

This is a solid point and one that I concur with. I was having a discussion the other day and I told someone (Christian) that I would rather my son be muslim than Athiest. The person looked at me as if I were wearing a bomb vest and could not grasp the concept. So we began to personally insult each other and point out the other was using incorrect terms and puncuation................


Ok, I made the last part up.
