The best comparison I can make is to atheism. That’s a very unpopular belief in some quarters, and atheists are often viewed as immoral by the religious. Nevertheless, we all have to live in the same world together - and having lost your faith, you can’t simply choose to believe again. Are atheists a _real_ minority in your NSHO, since you consider yourself an arbiter of such things?
