Setting The Religious Right Straight (or at least trying to)

IN AMERICA, there is no....war...on...religion. Flat out, straight up. the religious right would have you believe that there is, and that it is terribly brutal, unfair, and dangerously threatening to the survival not only of America but of human civilization itself. but the religious right is full of it. (and you know what "it" is). When a gay couple, madly in love, tries to buy a wedding cake from a bakery, is turned away because they are not heterosexual, even if they are Christian, and they complain about it, and hire an attorney to pursue discrimination accusations, they are not conducting a war on religion - they are fighting for their very survival in secular, civic, public american society. Neither are those who want to remove the Ten Commandments from government property trying to destroy religion; they are trying to save civilization and the American way from religious zealotry. Just so you know. In reality, the religious right, that weird union of extreme political conservatism and zealous religious fervor which currently infects the country in the form of the republican party, is the aggressor. the religious right is trying to stack the Supreme Court with right wing religious loons like Gorsuch and such, justices who somehow think that ordering a wedding cake for a gay couple who expects to be treated like everyone else is an attack on religious liberty. God, what bullshit. Hint; if you happen to be a Christian business owner, and you do business with gay people, you are not only doing more and better business, you are following on the footsteps of Jesus, by showing love to everyone, and judging no one.
