One mistake is overestimating the probability that the other person will act on their ideology.
People compartmentalize. For example, in theory, religious people should kill me for being unbeliever, but in real life I don’t expect this from my neighbors. They will find an excuse not to act according to logical consequences of their faith; and most likely they will not even realize they did this.
(And it’s probably safest if I stop trying to teach them to decompartmentalize. Ethics first, effectiveness can wait. I don’t really need semi-rational Bible maximizers in my universe.)
