I guess we just have to ignore those who irritate us about their beliefs, whther religious or (as I have often been subject to) scientific "crankism" where beliefs outweigh any evidence -- such beliefs are areas where I lack the intellectual equipment to contribute in a meaningful sense, and the same goes for most other people, yet when it comes to beliefs, opinions are thrown around without much thought or restraint.
