Well it depends on the context. Civility has nothing to do with the ideas being presented (unless the person is talking about murdering you or is insulting you, using foul language, ad hominem etc), rather in the manner in which one presents them. Namely, with respect and patience. It's not uncivil to criticize something like an ideology or religion. The individual is not attacking you personally, but rather the idea. This is something that is altogether lost in modern society. You're thinking of a politically correct society, very much like the one in the West, where people are silent and do not express their opinions if they are outside of the mainstream. I don't think this is preferable to a free society.

Although, in a practical sense I do agree in some contexts it's just better to keep your mouth shut instead of inviting an unavoidable shitstorm.
