You don't realize how authoritarian you are.
The Constitution is designed to prevent tyranny of the majority.

The one right of the power denied the people is the power to oppress a minority.
You want to practice your faith, practice it but don't force it on others.
And no, teaching science in the science class does not constitute an alternate religion being forced on your kids.
