But realize, that there are also intolerant athiests and intolerant agnostics and so on.
It is not much different from working with a bunch of MS fanbois. They can be intollerant of your choice to use Linux, or they can realize that you are able to make your own choices. Now, they can present you with the benefits as they see them, or they can focus on condemning you for your choices. There is a metaphor in there about flies, vinegar and honey trying to break out. Anyhow, like many things, people get carried away with their faith. The main problem with that is that faith plays a much more significant role in life than your choice of OS.
