Its why the left wants religion silenced here. Men like Reverend George Whitefield preached that men should be free to follow their own spiritual conscience which inevitably led to men questioning the authority of the king to impose his will against the conscience of his subjects. The British responded by trying to impose their own approved ministers who spoke kindly of the king. This led to even greater tension.
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’.
