77. And that is exactly it.
An opinion that religion is false is just that - an opinion. For far too long, religion has been too powerful to criticize openly, and I strongly believe that has been the reason so many horrible things have been done in its name. The ability to dissent, to call foul, is absolutely crucial in any debate. We see the right wing suppressing it for liberals in the political sphere - I don't think Christians in general have a right to do it in the religious sphere.
