Rick Santorum: Religious persecution in the U.S. could escalate as high as it did under Nazi Germany

I’m a little disgusted, not at all shocked.  This is ridiculous.  He says religious liberties are under assault, which is blatantly a lie.  He’s essentially saying “WATCH OUT CHRISTIANS!!! YOU’LL BE PUT IN GAS CHAMBERS SOON!!!” Or that’s the comparison he makes.  He recants later in the article, saying religious persecution in America is “fairly mild.”

There is no religious liberty under assault in America.  His “religious persecution” is abortion rights and same-sex marriage.  That’s his words from the article.  That’s not religious persecution, that’s not being able to push his views on other people.  His views based on his faith on other people regardless of their faith.

It comes down to a “my religion is right and because I believe my religion is right you, regardless of your views, beliefs or non-beliefs, have to defer to my religious beliefs.”

You can belief whatever you want religiously, but you can’t use your faith as a reason to limit others rights.  Separation of Church and State.  Politicians can follow whatever faith they want, but shouldn’t use that faith to govern.

The United States isn’t a Christian nation, it’s a nation of and for its citizens.  All of them.  Whether they are Christians, Jewish, Muslim, Pastafarian or atheist.
