After gaining such influence in national and state politics, the"Religious Right still claims martyrdom. I have no quarrel with those who choose to be Christian, but I also have no quarrel with those who do not believe in any Deity. My beliefs are mine, and what is in my heart is between me and the universe, and nobody else's business.

I am content to be able to worship, or not, as I choose. I am very,very uncomfortable with those who try to intimidate everybody to worship as they do. For some, freedom of religion means that they are free to shove their owns beliefs down everybody else s's throat, but they are not obliged to listen to other viewpoints, because it challenges THEIR freedom of religion. It's a strange, strange world, isn't it?
