...
The debate inside the house subcommittee hearing came down to protecting faith versus preserving civil rights. The chamber was so packed, conversations with lawmakers spilled out in to hallway.

"There has been a whole lot of bad stuff done in the name of religion," said Rep. Roger Bruce (D).

Paul Smith disagrees. He supports SB129 because it he believes it will help protect morality clauses within Georgia's Christian Schools. However he didn't get a chance to make his case before the subcommittee. It was too crowded.

"The chairman limited each side to one hour, so when our one hour expired they didn't allow any one else to speak," Smith said.

Former Georgia Attorney General Bowers led arguments against the bill

"It will give the opportunity to exclude in the name of religion, and I think that's a disaster," said told the panel.

1. Religion trumps civil rights

It's called priviledge. This is why the "new atheists" will no longer shut up and "live and let live".

Hey you gay believers, this is your fight now too. Time to call out religous oppression and own up to it.

2. And still some yacht-dwellers claim

that religious bigotry doesn't affect you if you don't belong to the church that practices it. And that whole gang is routinely baffled as to why atheists should be so concerned about what goes on in the world of religion.
