> There's personal beliefs and then there's giving financial support to crush someone else's.

So is the alternative to hold a personal belief, and not ever do anything about it? (Not that I support this particular example.)

Sometimes vital personal beliefs are in conflict, and to do nothing could be dangerous.

Freedom of speech vs freedom of religion conflicts, such as are seen in parts of Europe, are a great example: neither side has been able to reconcile without "crushing" part of the other side's view. And yet both views are obviously important, with a lot of validity.
