The problem is the RW Christians are currently working to take over our lawmaking in the country. And they're not doing poorly at it at the moment. In case you've not noticed.
If Christians will keep their religion out of my politics, I swear to not care what they're up to in their churches, so long as they're not hurting anyone who isn't willing. That's how it's supposed to work in this country, but that's not how it's working at this moment in time.
For what it's worth, and before it comes up here, I don't say this about Muslims in the US because they're not creating policy in this country around their belief system. If/when they do attempt such, I'll be just as opposed to them trying to foist their doctrine on me politically. But, they're not the ones doing that to our country. It's just the Christians.
This country was formed under a concept that people can practice their religion of choice freely. Which is the opposite of forcing it down other peoples throats by trying to stack our courts and congress with a bunch of RW political zealots who are trying to impose Christian doctrine on us via laws.
Imagine that, people on a Democratic political forum being upset about RW political zealots attempting to force their belief system on the rest of the country? Personally, I'm glad some people still have enough sense to be upset about the fact that something like this is actually taking place in this country.
To the rest of you religious people who aren't trying to alter the laws in this country to fit your religious views, and don't think we all have to be just like you if we're to coexist. I am now, and have always been, fine with you. Just don't step on my civil rights and I won't step on yours.
