Again, you bring up the "reasonable" conservatives. Like many said after you mentioned the reasonable creationists (most creationists are conservatives), reasonable conservatives using your view are few and far bewteen and are disliked by many other conservatives.
Well, I don't think so. I think that the success of the wiki model shows that even people of wildly different perspectives can behave reasonably when there is a culture and software to encourage it.
I don't think reasonable conservatives are hard to find, nor do I think reasonable liberals are hard to find.
But they say the representation itself is, well not POV (sorry about that usage of POV), but against their religion and therefore violates freedom of religion.
Well, a properly written NPOV presentation of wicca, for example, should absolutely NOT be against Christianity, nor should it be against Atheism. It's just a description of what it is, not advocacy in any way. By having people from many perspectives editing the same passage, we have excellent insurance (the best yet invented, I think) against inadvertant advocacy masquerading as objectivity.
