So any non-Christian should move out of the state of Alabama because the law follows only Judeo-Christian values. Religious segregation will breed social unrest and come off as religious persecution. Isn't that what our ancestors came here to get away from?

He said that if an individual, such as Risk or yourself, can't stand the fact that should the PEOPLE of a state where you reside decide to embrace religion as the foundation of their laws, then YOU have the choice to either stay or leave.

No one has to move anywhere unless they're uncomfortable with the religiosity of the state. Freedom OF religion is a constitutional right and by extension freedom FROM religion as well.
But, to say one person can move into a state and proceed to change the religious nature of that state is not only unconstitutioonal but asinine as well.
Imagine a company hiring a person on monday and on tuesday that person announced he was about to change the structure of the company because he didn't like it the way it was, and if anybody objected he take them court. No one would keep such a person in the business, but in religious matters it's perfectly OK.
