There is nothing "reasonable" about religion. Tolerable, yes, but not 
reasonable. That said, I have no more problem tolerating fools spending 
insane amounts of cash on foam hands, and the like, to see a ball game, 
with all the silliness of that, than I do with those you are calling 
"reasonably religious". At least up to the point where one of them 
decides to piss me off by insisting that I *must* where a football 
jersey, or the like, because their "team" is just ever so more important 
than my own *personal* choice of wardrobe. Thankfully, sports fans get 
no where *near* as unreasonable as "reasonable" religious people about 
that sort of thing... Oddly enough, the later can get downright crass, 
if you pick the wrong subject, day, event, or shirt, with very little 
seeming interest in making sure they remain all reasonable, and the like.
