No one begrudges anyone the ability to practice their religious beliefs in any way they see fit. It’s built right into the Constitution. What is objectionable is when someone tries to cram their religion down someone else’s throat. What most people don’t realize is that the rights protected by the first ten amendments carry with them an implied right from speech, religion, guns, and so forth. Just as you have the right of free speech, so do I have the right not to be forced to listen to what you have to say.

Scratch the evangelicals who are parading around the corridors of power in Washington, DC, these days and you will find many of them are backed by the Koch Brothers. No one knows if either one of those old crocks attends church on a regular basis, but they have latched on to the evangelical movement and embraced it in a cynical attempt to solidify their political power.
