You are correct. The singular, salient, impediment to the agendae of the homosexuals, abortionists, eugenicists, and swarms of others who would do evil is the conscience of devout Christians and Jews who refuse to ‘go along’.

A while back I was reading about the events surrounding the Pine Tree riot of 1772 New Hampshire. (Thou shalt not cut the king’s trees) The locals were desperate to grown their farms to match their growing families so they started cutting the trees and using or selling the lumber without approval.

It seems that a minister loyal to the king was believed to be an informant and was literally chased out of town in fear for his life. The minister was acting as an agent of the state rather than an agent of God and his flock.

Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.”

- John Hancock, Provincial Congress, Resolution to Massachusetts Bay, October 1774
