there are extremists in every area of belief, as Detbuch pointed out, extremists pervert or bastardize the belief that they claim to represent on order to attain goals that have nothing to do with the fundamentals, foundations and principles of the original beliefs, the founders secured religeous liberty because the felt that government imposed "established" religeous belief leads to extemism and perversion of religeous belief by those in power in government for purposes that have nothing to do with the fundamentals of religeous belief...they were right, which is why "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religeon, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"....it follows that those who do not necessarily have "religeous" beliefs do believe in something, that something is generally some form of government or organization that replaces "religeon" or in essence becomes a religeon of sorts, unions, political organizations and "cause" oriented organizations with charismatic leaders (these are the people that can wax eloquent and ad nausaeum with talking points and soundbites and twisted logic to sway sentiment but can barely muster a coherent thought when it comes to the fundamentals) or binding messages tend to follow similar paths and similar consequences when perverted or bastardized or when "some choose their platform to assault the rights of others whom they disagree with." ....
"rights of others" is an interesting phrase because "rights" seem to multiply as politicians bastardize and pervert the original intent, many "rights" that are assumed today are nothing more than promises made by people in government for their own benefit and have nothing to do with the original intent of the government that they represent...the progressives have turned this concept upside down, bastardized it to the point that many now believe that their various assumed rights are to be guaranteed and delivered by government, each group "pseudo-religeon" battling for previously non-existent government created rights used as wedges to divide us
