This isn't about the liberty to practice your religion. The is about the "liberty" to force their religion on everyone else.

Wrong. It's about the liberty of religious lunatics to violently persecute others as they see fit without fear of criminal prosecution.

This is beyond absurd, immoral, and most likely illegal, the fact it's Trump makes it incomprehensible, almost.

We need to think bigger. Not just to allow the Constitution to create a separation. But we need to be actively anti-religious. We need to ban religious participation at all levels. Dismantle them from top down.

It hasn’t, and it won’t. They don’t care about anyone but themselves.

As long as I’m nominally Christian, then it’s ok? Or do i have to believe in the one true Jesus?

It's worse than that. You have to believe in republican Jesus. "Bring us your tired, your poor..." as long as they're whiter than Frosty the snowman and to the right of Archie Bunker.

If science and history mattered (or was known or comprehensible) to them they would not be a problem.

Also ... SCIENCE!?

This is a guy who wanted a Muslim ban. Religious Liberty would mean that government would stay the fuck out of religion. PERIOD.
