"and they strive to force them onto everyone"

Who is they? All religious people do this? No. That's why I said in my post that when someone - RELIGIOUS OR NOT - attempts to force their beliefs about ANYTHING onto me against my will, I will resist that. But when it comes to personal spiritual beliefs, how arrogant is to assume I know what's best for someone else's private life? That *IS* the fundamentalist mindset. I know what's best for YOU.

I don't think I know what's best for other people to believe. Which is why I strongly, strongly support the freedom of religious expression every bit as strongly as I support its separation from the state, and every bit as much as I support my right to exist in America unharassed by the prosylytizing of others. I support ALL of those things - I don't pick and choose.
