6. I love this part:
"The Rev. Rick Scarborough, a leading evangelical, frames the movement as the civil rights struggle of the 21st century. "Christians," he said, "are going to have to take a stand for the right to be Christian.""

By "the right to be Christian" I assume he means the right to be a bigoted, intolerant, smug, self-satisfied, narrow-minded, ignorant and dogmatic. I haven't read the Bible since it was rammed down my throat at school, but I'm sure those were not among the key values that define a Christian. Nor are these "rights" (as far as I can tell) enshrined in the Constitution.

So from where exactly does the Good Reverend derive his claim to these rights?
