Hokey old values like "respect your neighbors, and their right to be wrong" will still work.

"Chaos is coming" hah! It's been here all along, you've just been lying to yourself about its distance from you.

In moments of peace and plenty when your neighbor is largely right or wrong about matters of trivial import like which version of god to bow before and what sports team to root for it is easy to let your neighbor be wrong.

When both have very strong opinions about matters of vital import both sides have strong motivation to mind their neighbors business. I think that is trivially justifiable on many issues.
