I will try....
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results...
Trying to drive a person out of his right to participate in the political arena based on his beliefs will lead only to confrontation, as in doing such you are removing the very consideration of ones own beliefs at the cost of another's, that will never work without enforcing a person against their will.
The whole argument of separations is convoluted in both sides.
It states no laws should be made to inhibit free expression, yet they try under separation....
You can't seize rate my beliefs from me, even tho they try.
It is like trying to say you don't have to be gay....
Unless one walks in that persons life, all they utter is folly.
However, organized religion has crossed that line as well, the pledge being one example and the reference to god on the currency is another.
I would even say a tax code that allows for tithing to be a write off is against the spirit of why we tithe in the first place.
If you want to say no organized folk can lobby on behalf of their beliefs then you will run smack up against their right to free assimilation.
And yes, bot appears to me to want it only his way....
This mindset is the root cause for all the misery in this world, and it is exampled by many people of opposing beliefs.
The only resolution to such is war, or something similar, to overpower the opposition.
Hope that helped
