This "tolerance" that you are sneering at happens to be enshrined in our Constitution.

I've noticed that some who consider themselves "conservatives" are somewhat ambivalent about constitutional protections.

From the article:

A prayer is given at the beginning of each Senate and House session, and attendance is hit or miss, particularly on Mondays.

I guess this means that the legislators who are not present / walk out for "business" or any other reason on any other day all also Bigots? I assume that you, Illbay will also call for thier resignation?

The only "tolerance" garenteed in the constitution is that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ". This does not force us to listen to them, only to allow them to beleive what they want to. That is true tolerance, both sides tolerate each other!
