Freedom of religion means you have the right to practice your belief. The problem with people crying freedom of religion while denying gay marriage is that they infringe other peoples rights while trying to look like the victim. Fundamentalist Christians are tyrants who do not get the separation of church and state and believe that freedom of religion allows them to use the law against people who are unfavorable in their worldview.

Do not like gay marriage? Do not get married to the same sex.
You have the right to belief that homosexuality is wrong, however you do not have the right to use that belief as a reason to deny others of their rights. Christian belief was used as a reason to deny interracial marriage. That doesn't sound like freedom to me, that sounds more like religious tyranny.

Woah there Kim Davis broke the law to refuse a government service to people based on her religious beliefs and refuses to resign even though she feels here religious beliefs conflict with the law. It doesn't mean she gets to violate the law because her religion says so. Freedom of religion does not extend to using religion to influence government policy in favor of one religion over others, or to violate rights. Kim Davis as a government employee does not have a right to refuse the service to people that she is responsible for granting. Also freedom of religion doesn't mean people cannot criticize your religion or say negative things about it.

And what you think if someone commits a crime or a government employee uses religion to try and deny rights to citizens they shouldn't face legal consequences? Sorry religion does not excuse those things.

And I like how you rag on the 'liberals' which like a lot of people by liberals you probably just mean people you disagree with for being too 'sensative'....and then you have christians throwing a big fit whenever their religion is criticized, or claiming by allowing same sex couples to have legally recognized marriage/unions somehow violates their right to practice christianity and participate in a traditional marriage which is a load of bull. But its the liberals who are too sensitive and prone to offense....lol.

Clearly you're an intolerant atheist, so I will give you a reason why, homosexuality is a sin, and allowing two homosexuals engage in something as sacred in our religion such as marriage is equatable to pissing on the Bible.

But I wouldn't expect a christianphobic to know that.

How are they an 'intolerant' athiest for saying religion should not be used to deny people their rights granted by the constitution...I don't see any personal attacks or calls to single out and persecute christians I see someone saying practice your beliefs as much as you want but don't try and force them on other people who don't believe the same way.

Also yes in your particular form of christianity homosexuality is a sin....so don't practice homosexuality. But yeah we have this thing called freedom of religion here 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof' legally speaking the constitution holds more ground than the bible in this country. Thus your religion doesn't have the monopoly on marriage, jews, muslims, athiests, pagans, satanists, agnostics, buddists and all sorts of people have unchristian marriages the law needs to respect that.

Someone is not a christianaphobic for wanting you to keep your religion out of their personal life....

Someone isn't homophobic for wanting to keep it out of their free will. The government can't coerce you into something that involves conscientious decisions. Now, you can give that decision to someone else instead of someone's answer of "resigning your position."
