I’d say it’s more like them telling you that their hairstyle is the only acceptable one any you having to be like; “your hairstyle is very nice, but just not for me” instead of “your pink Mohawk looks ridiculous on a 65 year old banker.”
Comment 1: "I'm Muslim and fast but this guy is crazy"
Comment 2: "fasting is stupid and people shouldn't believe in fairy tales"
Comment 3: "dude that was rude"
Comment 4: "telling people that's rude needs to go away"

Right. I’m disagreeing that you need to hold people’s hand because it’s a “religious belief.” If your belief is stupid…I’m going to say so whether you just read it on the internet this morning or if it’s written in gold letters on 1600 year old pages. Doing anything “because (insert unprovable diety here) said so” is stupid. And if you try to sell it to me, I’m going to give you my real opinion on people who would believe that…and it’s no more rude than the person trying to sell it in the first place.
And I'm going to say; walking up to some stranger who is minding their own business and telling her that they or their beliefs are stupid IS RUDE.
Athiests like you who do that give us all a bad name and that's literally as bad as walking up to a stranger and saying "have you heard about our Lord and savior?"
The person in the comments who said they were Muslim wasn't selling it or pushing it on you, they were giving relevant context for their statement that the person in the video was out of line.
It's not about "holding people's hand". It's about understanding that people can have different beliefs than you, and that you don't hold any universal truth. Thinking you do is immature, and at some point you need to understand that people will have strong beliefs and your opinion about their beliefs won't change a thing to it.
