“We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”
― Joseph Smith, Jr.
I totally agree. No matter how much we disagree with what someone else believes, we must allow them the freedom to worship as they believe if we want the freedom to worship as we believe.
I think most of us will agree with this...except for the exceptions where our own religion shall be allowed to determine who can, or cannot, worship as they please. Our own religion shall determine what worship is acceptable and what is not. And our own religion shall set the standards for society as a whole; others need not apply unless they agree with me. Sadly, precious few do more than pay lip service to the concept of freedom of religion.
It's the Higher Orders who say what you should believe. That is not freedom, but you have the right to disagreed, and that is freedom. What is true for you is true for you.
