I think you need to go check what progressivism is. I've been a progressive since 1966. It is an economic system – not about being friends with everybody.

Emotional maturity means one can deal with being rejected – it is the ability to be resilient regardless of the situation. It has nothing to do with 'loving' everybody (A Christian myth.)

It is absolutely and utterly impossible for two people to have a solid friendship when they have vastly different values. Then, again, what Americans see as friendship is very different to what we see as friendship in the rest of the world.

I lived in America for 11 years and what you're talking about is not friendship. It is politeness, friendliness, companionship, and many other things, but friendship it is not.
I have very limited respect for people who believe in gods. They're welcome to their beliefs, but while I am obliged to treat people within the framework of the law and even to be polite to them, I am not obliged to admire them or go along with them. And, yes, I prefer to use correct grammar, but when writing about god, it is a constant battle whether I should use a capital letter or not.
I do not have narrow views. You do. By not understanding the full implication of what you're saying, you've come to an erroneous conclusion. Dunbar is a British anthropologist, and he has shown it is impossible to have more than 150 to 200 close relationships with people. The more people one knows, the more shallow the relationships become. So, in order to do that, one would pick and chose. Of course, you're welcome to not pick and chose. Why not just get married to the first man who comes your way?
Tribalism is something else, of course. I'm a humanist. Tribalism thinks that some people are superior to other people, and they think that because some people are superior to other people, they are entitled to more money, more power, more land, more everything. As a humanist, I think that's wrong. I don't care how 'superior' some consider themselves to be, they're not entitled to better education, better medical care, better resources. In other words, I am a progressive.
