It was a mistake to use you an example, because everyone’s position is nuanced.
However, if you are intolerant of religious views, I don’t fully see why you object to my writing that I felt your statements were overly intolerant, as I am arguing for a tolerance of religion that is rather extreme on this forum.
Not certain about the rules for editing—permission to remove your name in my post?
You don’t need anyone’s permission to do that. For what it’s worth, my (perhaps over-cautious) policy is that barring really exceptional cases my edits never remove anything substantive; that way, there’s no risk that the edits will make other people’s comments look silly.
You say “if you are intolerant of religious views”, as if I’d just said that I am. I don’t really know what it means to be tolerant or intolerant of a particular view (I think toleration is something one mostly does to people), but I’d say I’m entirely tolerant of religious views. I just happen to disagree with them.
