You were made up by a liberal poster to smear your own kind, right? You can't be real- walking stereotypes don't exist.

On the issue- I don't see what the problems are. Treat religion like a club- Boys+Girls, YMCA, whatever- take away the tax exemptions, persecute those who purchase and sell illegal drugs, and you aren't defeating the right to practice religion. Someone smoking a joint in DC to protest drug laws would be arrested- why not someone in church?

Hate speech laws, however, unless stopping people from inciting violence, are silly and unconstitutional.
