An interesting poll on religious freedom

The question is: "Have religious freedoms in America been eroded this year?"

Keep in mind this poll is located on an evangelical Christian board, so a "Yes" vote likely indicates dissatisfaction with recent rulings concerning displays of the Ten Commandments, government-sponsored school prayer, etc. Review it for yourself and see what you think - and be sure to vote. Have fun!

5. If you impede their establishment of a theocracy, you're tyrannizing them

It's really quite simple.

3. Religious freedoms have been eroded? Right

Christians have over 100,000 churches in this country, hundreds of TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and websites, plus they have the White House, 95 percent of the Congress, almost all of the Federal Judges and practically all of the governors, yet they scream "persecution" because they aren't free to cram their beliefs down the throats of non-believers who aren't interested. Give me a f-----g break.
