politics and religion- most emotive topics

I have seen families and best of friends fall out due to having different political or religious affiliation. I have seen over the year that these two topics are some of the most emotive in human existence. People have killed because of both politics and religion. It is on this basis that l call upon everyone to be respectful of each other's beliefs and political affiliation. After all, most countries have these enshrined in their laws to offer protection. I believe that it is one's fundamnetal human righ to decide the religion they want to follow or the poltical affiliation they want to associate with. It calls for maturity and tolerance on everyone.
