You know, I think, that I don't agree with religious involvement in education or government. In my case those would be straw men arguments that you are making.
What I'm hearing secularists say is that no one has a right to be offended about their beliefs. Trying to enforce their own belief system upon the whole population. They seriously want this made law. This to you would be like a religious group saying that you must obey their particular dogma. You are in fact being hypocritical.
Well, then, stop equating secularism with anti-religion. If you don't agree with with religious involvement in education and government, that makes you a secularist. Theists can be secularists too, so don't slander secularism when you really mean to attack the anti-religion movement.
And can you provide any reference to people trying to enforce not being offended into law?
