The majority of Americans don’t want ‘religious freedoms’ over LGBT rights.

New research from the Public Religion Research Institute found more than 60 percent were against businesses turning customers away due to their religion – even if they themselves were religious.

In fact, the only faith group in support of such a move were white evangelical Protestants.

Muslims, Catholics and Mormons all came out as broadly against the policy, with Buddhists and Hindus most opposed.

Fifty eight percent of people were also in favour of same-sex marriage, with Universalists and Buddhist leading the way.



The poll comes just days after a draft executive order to introduce a similar bill was leaked by the White House.

3. "Religious freedom" is a right-wing dog whistle

When they say "religious freedom", they really mean "evangelical, fundamentalist Protestant domination, Constitution be damned."

That's the word we have to get out to the public. RW fundies are not talking about our right to practice our religion unbothered; they're talking about their alleged license to impose their beliefs on unwilling Americans.
