“Progressive” is just another word for “godless”.

Evangelist Franklin Graham [says so](http://nytimes.com/2018/05/27/us/politics/franklin-graham-evangelicals-california.html).

You godless people just want to establish an atheistocracy. :eek::(:smack:😕

As for Mississippi HB 1523, I suspect even the more conservative members of the higher appeals courts/Supreme Court will ultimately find it unconstitutional, once people can show they’ve been harmed by it.

I fear Christian extremists because they have a lot of power, here in my nation. I don’t fear Muslim extremists, because they have basically zero power, here in my nation. And I’m a Christian, even: Non-Christians would have even more reason to fear the Christian extremists than I do (though, perhaps, no less reason to fear the Muslim ones).
