As an outspoken skeptic, I am often told that I should be “more tolerant” of other people’s beliefs. I argue that many times it would be immoral to do so. For example, trust in unproven, unscientific medicine could cause somebody to forego or undervalue traditional treatment.

So to what degree should we be tolerant of things that are not supported by evidence?
