I could, if pressed, argue both sides of those issues... not equally well on both sides, but I have sympathy for some arguments on both sides. (Even if having no respect for most people on a given side, because their view is not driven by those difficult naunces.)

Other issues like whether there is a god... I couldn't plausibly have no respect for every one of 80% of human beings so I don't consider theism and absolute deal-breaker... within limits.
