And what they're wanting to do is the Christian version of Sharia Law, they want to force every US citizen to live their lives according to the bible.

Ask also what "freedom from religion" means to them. Our government was intended to allow everyone in this country to believe (or not believe) as they choose, without fear of persecution. Religion has no place in our government.
