Religious liberty is wrapped up with every other liberty and the fight will ultimately come down to one between the cultural authoritarians (the Regressive Left and other stateists) which are actually a minority they are just very very loud, and cultural libertarians.
A great deal of it will come out during the Election and even after particularly during Daddy's first term but the authoritarians will lose, like they always do, because the American people have a particular affinity for liberty and the generation in mid-life is shifting from the crusading Boomers to practical Xers.
My sense is that the cultural authoritarians are now in the majority. If your view is correct, there would be reason for hope in the future.
An interesting article on tolerance.

The Three D’s of Tolerance
… “Like all worldviews, Christianity offers an explanation for reality that excludes many other options. If Christianity is true, other views of the world that deny the existence of God (or postulate a god who is characteristically different than the God of the Bible) are false. If these other views are true, Christianity is false. When worldviews offer opposite and contradictory explanations, both may be incorrect (or one may be correct) but both cannot be true. We need a strategy, therefore, to deal with people who hold views that are different than our own.”…
… whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Phil 4:8 (ESV)
