It's not like it doesn't work both ways, people of a left-wing persuasion seem to feel the need to make society work their way, look at the ban the burqa thread for a typical example.

Plus, there are double standards when it comes to spreading the ideas. If a Christian tries to convert someone, they get told to **** off and mind their own business. If an atheist tries to convert a Christian and the Christian tells them to **** off, then that's because they're brainwashed and won't challenge their beliefs.

You bring up an interesting example with the Sunday laws. Scotland was the only place in the UK that didn't have Sunday laws, yet it was the only place where shops actually shut on Sundays. Even in my lifetime this was the case, seems pretty extraordinary now but I guess it was just one of those quirks from the past. Anyway, the point was the shops shut because the people wanted them shut, not because they had to make it into another needless law, this is how things should work IMO.
