"Stop the Radical Religious Right from Amending the U.S. Constitution? It was the religious right that fashioned the Constitution."

'Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.'
'In no instance have... the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people.'
-James Madison
'I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.'
'There is more need for lighthouses in our country than churches.'
'But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.'
'Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.'
-Thomas Jefferson
And was it not the likes of messrs Madison & Jefferson who - when they fashioned the Constitution - included the concept of Separation of Church and State? As in 'we politicians won't interfere in your praying & worshipping as you see fit, if you Religious Right types don't so much as contemplate the notion of even thinking that you have the right to insinuate your way into the political system of this country.'
And yet, you do (certainly you Dominionists). Therefore we secularists can do whatever is necessary (and legal) to prevent your making the US what you want it to be: a Theocracy with Nukes. (PROTIP: why are you so opposed to Iran's nuclear ambitions, again...?!). In fact, I'd go as far as to say religion has no right to tell people what to do; if anything, we Atheists have the right to tell religion what to do - certainly it's clergy. I should have the right to go to Pat Robertson - whilst his "700 Club" programme is on air - go up to him, order him to go on his knees and worship me; because as far as he's concerned I am God, and he must accept this.
How does the above sound to you? Like interference in your affairs, nay, persecution you could say, hmmmmm?!
Well, now you know how you lot sound to everyone else.
I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
