I respect your opinion but at the same time I think you ought to consider what your demands represent... what if Islam was the major religion here.. what if paganism was?

If they choose not it is not our place as Christians to force our beliefs into them.

LOL! You sound like the way I thought up till about 10 years ago.
What right does any man have to tell me what to do!
If Islam was the major religion here, we would no longer have the United States of America.
You would not have a computer. You probably would not even know how to read or write.
What has made this country what it is is it's Judeo/Christian values.
That means living by the 10 Commandments, ALL of them.
Throw our morality away and we will cease to be the most powerful nation in the world.

Well that's certainly an argument that would be hard to contest since we have no basis for comparasion only the fact that we ARE a great nation. Regardless it is up to the people of the nation to determine how they want to live. I can say fortunely I haven't been raised under any other society than ares. Nevertheless it still doesn't take away from the point that people should live to the standards they set for themselves. If the majority are living pretty moral lives great.. but that changes as the majority changes and the majority has no right to force their majority on the miniority in any respect.. political religious or otherwise.
