America was founded by people seeking the freedom to practice their religion. In other countries there was a state supported religion and people faced actual persecution for practicing any other religion. Our Founding Fathers felt so strongly about this freedom they enshrined it in the Bill of Rights.
Now, we have groups of fundamentalists who are so afraid of other religions that they want to impose their religion- their form of Christianity on everyone. They believe their views are more important than the Constitution. What they don't realize is that the Bill of Rights protects their right to practice their religion too. No one who follows The Constitution can impose their religion on anyone else. This is a very important right that we have as Americans. We can't allow county clerks in Kentucky or Secretaries of State in Kansas to impose their religious beliefs on citizens of their state. It is un-American. They must be stopped.
