When President Donald Trump spoke to the National Prayer Breakfast this month, he underscored his vow to defend the religious rights of the conservative Christians who helped propel him to power.

Now, they expect the Justice Department under new Attorney General Jeff Sessions will reposition itself as a champion of what they see as that religious freedom.

All of this “religious freedom” talk is nonsense if the administration doesn’t come to the realization that the queer agenda and Christian Western Civilization cannot exist side by side. One will necessarily have to dominate.

>>what they see as that religious freedom.

It's not just religious freedom - it's the freedom of We the People to contradict the errors of those who would assume dominion over us.

Like when Useful Idiots try to construct a delusional worldview wherein gender is a "social construct" and not a BIOLOGICAL FACT.... that kind of ERROR.
