Too many 'people of faith' think that refusing to allow them to control every aspect of the society is 'antagonism'.

Speaking as one of the majority of Americans who believe religion can be a powerful force for a healthy society, I think that refusing to allow faith any control over aspects of the society is 'antagonism.' From my point of view in the last 50 years faith has been regulated out of almost all influence in education, employment and government.

It is good to see the political trend moving towards faith friendly government.

Then that would make you, by definition, a theocrat.

Here, and in Iraq too!
