If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, it is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no valid reason for thinking as you do. If a friend claims that three plus three is seven, or that Greenland is situated on the equator, you should feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of mathematics or geography that your colleague's opinion shakes your own belief.
The most drawn-out and toxic controversies are about issues regarding which there is no credible or definitive evidence either way—e.g. is there an entity such as God who controls us and our actions? Persecution, victimhood and gaslighting are used in religion and matters of faith, not in mathematics and science because the latter two fields are knowledge-led, but the former is only driven by subjective opinion, dogma and might I say drivel. Whenever you find yourself getting worked up about a difference of opinion, pause and take a step back. Using the tools of logic and introspection, you will probably find that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants. But it is scary how the politicians today have hijacked the agendas of both science and religion; if they need your opinion, they wouldn't solicit it, they will give it to you. One is just not capable of independent thought, you are indoctrinated into hating each other for no reason.
Choose science over faith, logic over subjective belief, brotherhood over bigotry; in this world riven by war and strife, give peace a chance.
