John, John, John!!! You put words in other's mouths...and you KNOW that the majority are religious, and therefore will always have a 'vote'. The point is that they shold not be able to impose laws or practices designed to favor religious institutions at the expense of non-religious folks!

I often give the example: IF there were only 27 Christians in the country, they should have the right & freedom to have a church and worship and live their personal lives in accordance with those beliefs....and the same should apply to NON Christians living as a minority in a society. They should NOT be required to be subjected to open prayers in public meetings, have their taxes taken to support religious causes...etc., etc....

There are just some issues that should not BE subject to 'majority vote'..., as you would see immediately if you WERE in the minority.
