From your perspective, I can see why you would be defensive against the religious. As a religious person who nonetheless applies objective morality to civil concerns, I would submit that you and I face the same adversary attacking from different camps. There are secular activists who would use the government’s monopoly on force to restrict my religious expression just as there are religious activists who would impose their subjective morality on you. In either case, they fail to recognize our respective rights. To my mind, that makes you and I political allies despite any disagreement over religion.
