For the nothing that it is worth, I appreciate very much the sentiment expressed in this article. Unfortunately, beliefs are inherently divisive: they divide people into 'us' (those who share any belief) vs. 'them' (those who do not share it).

I am a person with strong sacral beliefs. It has occurred to me that what we need most of all is for all people to realize that all beliefs--whether sacral (theological) or secular (ideological)--are absolutely valid for the believer, but of no consequence whatsoever for any other person.

For governing society, there is 'mutual respect in effecting choices' as the ethic of justice. It involves no belief, but follows from the observation that human beings have no choice but to effect choices (i.e., choose among perceived options and take action to bring that choice to fruition) [from Warren J. Samuels].

A requirement of mutual respect does follow from a belief in equality--which can be sacral or secular in origin. That source of an ethic of mutual respect is validated by the ethic of 'real justice' (as I have come to call that account of justice).
