Does me thinking I'm liberal mean I should be pro-everything? You obviously don't mean that but I think you can be liberal whilst still thinking what some people choose to do is wrong. I do think people should be free to do what they want but that actually seems like an argument
for anti-religion to me. If a child is instilled with religious lies from birth it completely takes away their freedom. So surely as a liberal person I should be opposed to it even if that means taking freedom of religion from people now?

I think perhaps it gave the people a medium to say what they really think. If you go around saying you don't like muslims the media take a fit. Look at Geert Wilders, he spoke out against islam and we banned him from entering the uk... The vote in Switzerland allowed the people to anonymously say what they truly thought.
