There has to be some mechanism for sharing a society with people whose opinions seem truly horrible to us.

This is something very important. Too many people confuse tolerance as meaning being nice to people I like but bother some other misled ignorant soul. Tolerance as something useful to society is being civil and fullfining obligations set down by the social contract with people you don't like but that otherwise fulfil their obligations.
