"to advise you that all we wish is for you to go back into the closet."
Why the hell should we? Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of western democracy.

"The State has a vested interest in maintaining religious beliefs in society"
No it doesn't. Provide citation of this ludicrous claim

Remember the Dark Ages - that 800 or 900 years when western society stagnated and basically failed. That was what happened to Europe when the church was in control.
You yourself have shown yourself to be anti science. With the likes of you and conservative Christians in charge of the government, the US would fall back into another Dark Age.

3. Why are you ignoring my points made in asking another inane question?
4. Yes, I would.
5. Would YOU?
