To compare religious beliefs with the color of the sky, is invalid. Sky color is verifiable. You can go out and look up at the sky to see what its color is. You can stand beneath the sky with other people and discuss its color with them. You can compare its color to the color of other things. The sky’s color is there to see … and it’s there for ALL to see.

Religious beliefs are something else. They’re not verifiable. People can discuss them, yes … but there’s no objective referent for them to point to when they do so. Anyone can fabricate any religious idea s/he wants to and there’s no way to confim or deny it.

Note, too, that no one uses the color of the sky as a justification for running the country the way they want. Sky color carries no political implications (that I know of). Religious beliefs, on the other hand, do … especially among folks who think they’re required to force everyone, of whatever faith or of none, to live according to the dictates of their own collection of unverifiable religious beliefs. Big difference there.
