On the issue of tolerance, et. al:

As we have been discussing Shriners, Freemasons, and Fez worship in general here as of late, perhaps it's best to look to our cousins in these organizations for advice:

Both organizations expressly forbid the discussion of politics and religion in their temples and shrines. While Masonry (and by extension Shriners) require that you have faith in a higher power, that faith is up to you and is not discussed.

If the Shriners (who are dedicated to the joy of life, and do party a bit between funraising and social work) can all get together to get loaded without the above mentioned topics coming up, I'll bet we can too.

Cheers,
