Still, when you refer to religion being "stuffed down" your throat, that's a criticism of OTHER PEOPLE'S religion ~and those who start sticking their nose into other's religious beliefs almost invariably end up voting for people who will suppress religion, or start dictating beliefs.

I'd much prefer a small token of flesh that you are good to your word first!

Certainly you can understand my distrust of your promises absent a surity.

But you are undoubtedly prone to vote for someone who agrees with you regarding my religious rights, so you'd be taking money out of my wallet anyway.

Please, I in no way want to supress somebody's religion, I just object when it affects me. If my baggage handler at Safeway refused to handle my bacon because of their Islamic beliefs, I'll object. If my Hindu neighbor made constant efforts to curtail my beef intake, I'd object. On that same token, if somebody starts ranting at me because I my wife and I weren't married yet when we started living together, or is telling me I'm going to hell because I don't go to church, I object to that.
