This is what I do.

I examine those ideologies that are being thrust upon me as much as I can.
I investigate them on my own to determine if there are aspects that I can relate to or accept. If I do not feel fully educated in a subject - I avoid it or I make it known in conversation that I am not completely educated in the issues.

If I do feel adequately educated enough then it's time to play ball and take a stand.

This is where the rubber meets the road. If I do not agree with an issue then I speak plainly about that issue and why I don't agree with it. I don't belittle or disrespect those who might adhere to that belief but I certainly don't back off and falsely acknowledge it's merits.

Individually, we are all entitled to our beliefs.
