“Let’s be clear. The fight over marriage equality isn’t about religious freedom or the criminalization of Christianity.”

Oh, yes it is. Tenants of the Christian faith and the adherents will be illegal if/when they have their way. Who is she trying to fool?

First of all, I don’t think she is trying to fool anyone. The piece is so full of various boilerplare Progressive terminology, catch phrases, talking points, etc that at best she cobbled it together from other peoples’ work and at worst it was written for her.

As it is, whoever wrote this employed the Progressive tactic of claiming it won’t impact religious freedom by defining that freedom within the specific and limited context of religious organizations. IOW not applicable outside of them, not applicable to Christians who want to live their faith as part of their daily lives, in the context of how they do business, etc.

People who haven't been paying close attention. I believe that the 72 year old woman who was dragged into court because she refused to bake a cake for a homosexual couple, would dispute whether Christianity is not being criminalized. She has lost her business, her life is in tatters, I imagine her bank account and retirement savings are gone. But hey, we're not "criminalizing" Christianity.
