Not at all. And you raise a telling point. SLavery and racism, at least, are core violations of the constitutional contract outlined in the Declaration of Independence. They ar eexactly the kinds of things that churches should militate against because they are against the civic code of the commons. In Porposition 8, contrariwise, churches are resorting to activism against the core values expressed in the Declaration and Bill of Rights. That is a pretty big difference.
