I'm anti-religion, but the evangelicals are far worse on all of those issues and have overwhelmed the legislatures that are making these fucked up laws. I don't even know that the RCC inserts themselves into voting and labor rights....and are strictly anti-death penalty.

I guess I should remind you Justice Sotomayor is a Catholic.
