Morning Sparky....
Religious extremes have existed in all forms and throughout the ages. As stated, it is a matter of education and evolution of the particular society that allows democracy to flourish.
There was a time here, in Malta, when mentioning such things as contraception or sex on radio would have made u suspended. Simply because it went against the teachings of the religion of the islands.
I know, I was there during this period. Censorship was total, and anybody so much as trying to overcome that would have to suffer the consequences.
If one goes even more back in time, many more drastic eepisodes of religious intolerance may be found in our very own religion. History now calls them The Dark Ages.
It is just a matter of education, social evolution, and internal growth of a particular society that will eventually provide the same level of individual freedoms that exist today here.
Any religion is, and should always be, a matter of personal choice.
Not imposition.
