I don't misunderstand him, at all.
But what I'm saying is that so many Americans seem to THINK that Religion trumps all.
RocketSurgeon said that if he was an attorney,
and was presented with the chance to take a case
wherein an Atheist behaved towards a Theist
the way that Kim Davis behaved toward these gay couples,
that he would take the case,
because he believes in the Constitution.
Perhaps, once again, I was too verbose and not clear enough in my meaning:
I realize what he is saying,
but what I'm saying is: Don't you find it difficult to defend religion,
given the unequal leverage that religion carries in America...and the world?
Ah, I did misunderstand you a bit.
But I still agree that even the religious have every right to an impartial government, and were I a lawyer I'd help ensure that. My reasoning is that by treating the religious different from the irreligious, you are violating both the 1st and the 14th amendments.
