Religious liberty and hatred

[Odin]

Religious conservatives have a right to their beliefs, but they do not have a right to force those beliefs. "Religious Freedom" is nothing but a euphemism for getting around the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment, which ironically was put in to protect the minority religious sects of the time, like the Baptists, from the dominance of the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists. And now given the increasing diversity of American religious life, with an increasing numbers of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Neo-Pagans, openly non-religious, etc. that original intent of the Establishment Clause is needed more than ever to protect those groups from the bigotry of the Religious Right.

Also, Radind, your claim that the US is no longer "really" majority Christian is disproved by the fact that being openly non-religious in most parts of the US is political suicide.
