However, what is often overlooked is the danger it presents to Christians as well. No nation has ever existed that was solely a Christian nation. A particular sect of Christianity always becomes established. Those outside of the sect face persecution. A cursory look at the long, bloody history of established religion in England proves this point.
Freedom is never free.
On paper, the former Soviet Union gave more freedoms to their citizens than the ones we have in America. But those freedoms were only paper freedoms. For freedom to become a reality, citizens must breathe life into them by exercising their rights and remaining diligent against attempts to take those freedoms away. Ultimately the religious right would like to destroy the Constitutional separation of church and state, and in so doing, our religious liberty. To implement their plans, they hide behind soothing rhetoric and nice names like vouchers, parental rights, school choice, and solemnization.
