re: The "religious right" is a boogeyman blown out of proportion

The problem is that we have a large portion of society that believe that those Christians don't have the same rights of free speech and beliefs as others. The left screams about "seperation of church and state" because they want those in church silenced in favor of a state that has no moral compass but is all powerful. A state that punishes those who produce, pay taxes personally and in their businesses because they view that when you open a business you must forfeit your first amendment rights in favor of those that aren't paying taxes. They demand so much information about those tax payers and how they spend their money and have made the law that all of their employees must provide a government issued ID and their SS card as proof to work yet they claim that laws requiring an ID to vote are unconstitutional and create an unneccessary burden on the poor minorities that supposedly are unable to obtain them.

This is exactly right.
The entire platform and program of the Left is nothing but lies compounded upon lies to infinity.
There is nothing about their perspective that is remotely true. You can see that whenever they gain any power whatsoever. They then use that power against anyone who disagrees with them.
I used to believe that you could be of different persuasions in America - Right, Left, Moderate - and that we had things that held us in common and could all basically get along. I now see that that is not the case at all. I am no fan of the Right, but those on fhe Left cannot tolerate any dissent whatsoever and they will seek to crush anyone who disagrees with them with the power of the State.

This is correct. A lot of people want freedom FROM religion, not freedom of religion.
The first amendment was written to prohibit the state from establishing a religion like the Church of England. But in today's modern times it has been warped and twisted to suppress people who want to express their religious views.

Only the ignorant tie a lack of religion to a political philosophy.
