If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had been plunged into a different world. I found myself spending half my time answering weird questions on book tours in the Midwest. People would stand up and explain to me the situation in their office and ask me whether they should resign or not.
I would never want to disrespect my beliefs. There are certain, obviously different, areas you wouldn't go. It's not congruent to who I am as a person, and it would be insincere, and it wouldn't be based on truth.
You should protest about the views of people you disagree with over major moral issues, and argue them down, but you should not try to silence them, however repugnant you find them. That is the bitter pill free speech requires us to swallow.
I couldn't join a party that, frankly, tolerates members who are bigots for one thing, homophobes, racists.
I think I would abolish schools which systematically inculcate sectarian beliefs.
Please accept my resignation. I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.
To reject even one major tenet of the religion or to violate one major rule of behavior is enough to get one kicked out - or worse.
I don't have any intention of resigning.
In a democracy, when you get 20 million people in the street, you resign.
What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive.
