The religious right believes that it can force religion on you and you have no right to stop them. Ultimately their plan is to infiltration education all over the country because we are a Christian nation. What many Americans seem to not understand is that the country is dealing with a determined constituency that will NEVER give up their quest.
Even now religionists have made many strides toward their goal. The "choice" and "voucher" system is just a coded way of forcing taxpayers to fund THEIR schools. And take over of school boards where voter turn out is low is where they want to make the deepest inroads.
They have the GOP and billionaires like the Koch brothers helping them. And this battle is a generational battle.

(16,423 posts)2. Religious rights should not have legal meanings whatsoever as
a) they can be invented, altered, forged and ignored on a whim
b) they have no safeguards, checks or caveats to prevent contradictions within a religious codex
c) there is no definite judicial guideline on what to do when following one religious right from one religious codex violates another religious right from another codex.

(13,598 posts)Private citizens absolutely do have a right to proselytise to others, enshrined in the first amendment.
The point is that the state should not, and should not be permitted to, promote any religion or religious position.
