At the end of the day are we not really all just human beings regardless of what religion or non religion we are? Shouldn't we be looking at each other as people instead of as labels. Shouldn't we all have love for our fellow man and woman and child regardless of what religious or non religious beliefs we have? Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we did that instead of always fighting and arguing and tearing each other down? Shouldn't we be trying to build each other up instead of tearing each other down?
What says you the jury?

Labels are how we percieve the world but the philosophies we are raised with determine what those labels will be in our communities and our own psyche. Labels are not much different from borders in the metaphorical sense because they generalize an aspect. But the closer one would try to look into the range between opposing realms of existence (physical or mental), There are many interrelated details between any two opposing sides of a spectrum. And even though that would lead to creating more labels, the changes and differences are gradual. It's the only way in this life that enables us to find our spot on the map or existence.
Look at the world of US politics. Not every Republican is a conservative evangelical Bible thumper with theocratic facist ideas and not every Democrat is a liberal New Age crystal toting occultist with government conspiracy theories. In fact I would say that the majority are not. But these negative extremes are used by people like Ann Coulter and Michael Moore to try tipping the scale off center. The middle of the bridge will always be the safest location when crossing. More rational decisions come from moderation and then one could percieve the world according a his or her experience within the spectrum.

Off with his head!
Oh... ahem... seriously? Well as human beings we're all empty of inherent existence, but without labels we wouldn't be able to tell each other apart... besides it's FUN being one of the most hated humans on the Earth... teaches me compassion and patience... sometimes... other times I just let loose...

We all think we are at the top of our own world, until you see someone who has a better car than you.
