This week, Becky, Keight and Mike discuss the often misunderstood phrase “tolerance.”
Sam Mulvey is a producer and the technical brain behind Ask an Atheist. He is a collector of vinegar varieties, vintage computers, antique radios, and propaganda.

It’s astounding how this has been twisted to mean you have to “respect” their religion to be “tolerant”, as usual religious people have completely hijacked the meaning of a word.
