I guess I was forced into such a situation as when I was brought up, my mother's view's were always more left wing compared to mine. I'm more in the middle ground with a strong distrust of all politicians but she is very biased in favour of the Labour party in the UK. I tend to take politicians on individual merit not being too bothered by the party they represent. I've always felt from quite a young age that most politicians aren't fit for purpose with only a select few having the required experience to do the job. So I have built in tolerance, I can still argue but I understand and accept as a core value that other's have different opinions to me and I'm not motivated to try and force my opinion on others even if I think their opinion is poorly judged.
I'm not as tolerant with religion simply because often those people can't make any logical arguments and are just tuned out of reality and I find it difficult to deal with that. You are basically dealing with brain washing. You make your points, they don't make any logical counter points and don't answer your questions but continue with the conversation anyway making points in favour of religion. Basically they act as if everything you say is some sort of test of their faith and it just hits a wall and is ignored if they can't answer it. I have this crazy system that if people make valid points that make more sense than my opinion of the time then I change my opinion. I guess I get annoyed with people who can't change their opinion but also can't defend their opinion either.
