But what about the Christians that claim Christianity isn't a religion but a relationship with Christ? But everything else is a religion?

Imagine the froth and spittle if a Muslim mayor passed an ordinance blocking people with a personal relationship with iron age carpenters from gathering together  on the grounds that it isn't a religion.

"Christianity isn't a religion, it's a personal relationship with Christ. And if you're a guy, that makes it a homosexual relationship. And homosexual relationships are bad. So if you're a man, you are forbidden to be a Christian."

"And if you're a woman, you're either married, in which case it's an adulterous relationship, or you're not, in which case you aren't allowed to see boys. So if you're a woman, you are forbidden to be a Christian."

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Ironically leaving people outside the gender binary as the only true Christians.

Religious Freedom was also the name of a bill in 2012 that would've given tax money to churches and other religious groups, that don't pay taxes.  Fortunately, it was shot down, showing Florida does have some sense.

I just love how the Right loves to use words like, "Freedom," and "Free Speech" to push agendas that do the opposite. 
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"
