Religious freedom...

[dyresand]

Here in the Bible Belt of the USA, I also get the feeling that xtians are used to being in the majority and used to dictating people's behavior - not by enforcing laws, but by peer pressure.  Now they see that influence slipping, they see things they don't approve of becoming accepted, and they want LAWS!  The idea that people could even disagree with their position terrifies them.

The fact that they've become so transparent in their efforts to pass various 'Religious Freedom' bills and BS like bathroom laws says to me that they know they're on the wrong side of history and are scrambling to keep their rapidly waning social influence.

I really think this country will look dramatically different in the next 20-50 years as the old people die out and the young and increasingly secular populations increase.

Sooner than you thing millennials are going to make the change whether the older generations want change or not.
