I am convinced , based on barna.org and observable behavior that the percentage of those with a Biblcial worldview is ~ 10% in the USA. Because the secular views are dominant does not mean that I have to accept them. It may be that there will be a price to pay, depending on how the majority chooses to enforce their views.
The price is that you will have to accept that there are others in America that don't conform to your norms and wishes as to how they should behave, and that they will be permitted to behave contrary to your norms.
