Separation of Church and State

Conservative Christian legislators and their base are trying to change our country, its laws and a person's rights, based on their religious views. The first amendment of the constitution prohibits (among other things) "the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion." This is to prevent a "national religion" or laws that show preference to any one religion. Religious freedom in America gives you the right to believe whatever you want. It does not give you the right to deny people basic CIVIL rights (like marriage, access to contraception, abortion, etc) because you believe its a sin. People who don't share those beliefs are being subjected to rules of a religion they don't even follow! And for some reason, we aren't rising up against it! We, as Americans, need to take a stand and insist that our rights be protected from those who would force their beliefs on us! Wake up, America! Protect the First Amendment's Separation of Church and State! Tell legislators and President Obama that you are tired of your rights being threatened by conservative Christians using politics to push their religious agenda!
