It's amazing how, in one breath, the religious believers, in response to
humanist/rationalist/whatever-well-pigeonholed-label-you-wish-to-use 
philosophy, say that such a philosophy (involving minimal morality, rational
basis for societal rules, etc.) interferes with other people's/nations'
lifestyles/morality/whatever, because it doesn't allow such societies the
"freedom" to impose whatever rules it likes on individuals.

And in the next breath, they recite the Noachic laws...
