In the thread D James Kennedy is dead Nator makes a great comment in Message 24:

And perhaps you can list for me all of the laws all of these "leftist" groups have succeeded in putting into place that have limited your freedom to live as you wish?
​
This brings up an excellent point. It is cliche for many conservative Christians to comment various versions of the "I don't have any problems with atheists, leftists, etc. except when they try to take away my right to be Christian". So I thought it would be instructive to hear specific laws which are designed to restrict Christianity.
​
To keep this thread from going OT or into a discussion of morality, I want to exclude laws that allow things that Christians are opposed too. For example, a law which legalizes same-sex marriage would be off topic UNLESS that law forced same-sex marriage to those opposed to it. I also want to avoid vague anecdotal claims like the War on Christmas. Nearly every state and federal law in this country can be referenced online, so it would be instructive to provide links so that we can all research the specific statutes.
​
I would suggest Social Issues as a forum?

Sorry Taz, but you are wrong
If I understand the story correctly racism did not exist before Darwin. Therefore laws restricting the marriage of white people to those of African descent were of Evilutionist design. Good Christians of the time were all for interracial marriage, but evolutionists were opposed to such things. Read your history, man!

Re: Bump
The silence is because the list does not exist. As part of the CCOI is also the Christian Cult of Persecution. Under this a vocal minority of those calling themselves Christians make themselves such a pain in the ass to the rest of us then use our response as evidence that they are truly right because they are persecuted. Holy self fulfilling prophesy, Batman!
