As a woman, I have seen how our family has blossomed under the care and protection of my husband. My kids would have never turned out so well without his strong, yet lighthearted, example.

This is the consequence of throwing religion under the bus. THIS is firepower to use against secular activists, that taking religion out of American life will decay and erode American culture and makes people’s lives miserable.
