In terms of avoiding physical and emotional religious intolerance, from whom do
I have to worry about attacks?  The ones who believe in open-mindedness, or the
ones who sell and direct the "Word Of God"?

Again with Scientology: From whom do I need to expect attacks?  The devout
followers of Scientology, the "Church"; or the followers of Scientology, the
belief?

It is the people in each religion who express "one way to the Truth" that scare
me the most.  Scientology seems to have more than its fair share of these
people...
