I did not mean for this to be a US vs. UK thread. I'm thinking globally because gays and atheists exist everywhere. It's a global thang.

That made me wonder, what’s it like for gays and atheist across the pond. Here in the land of the fucking free people have to shed so much blood, sweat and tears just to earn the right to be treated like human beings.

I’m not surprised that it’s the Church at the forefront of the fight against human rights, after all, these same motherfuckers were heartbroken when forced to let my mother ride the front of the bus.  

Are people free anywhere on this planet? Are Christians fighting everywhere to return to the days when they could burn people at the stake?

I've got limited UK religion education/experience. Most of my perceptions come from the Vicar of Dibley. HAH! Wish we had that outlook in the US.
