What shouldn't? Constitutional rights shouldn't outweigh statutory law? They always have. There are many cases in which people have been exempted from secular laws if it violates their religious beliefs if it does no harm---schools requiring a pledge of allegiance, Amish children only attending school to the 8th grade, etc. Those do not involve anti-discrimination based on sexual orientation, but the recent case involving the baker is a good example (although his case was based on another issue).
Requiring kids to say the pledge of allegiance isn't law. And if it is, that's a whole different problem. And Amish kids still need to attend private school or home-schooling if they don't want to go to High School.
While I don't like the anti-discrimination laws, I don't want religious loopholes in them. If a law is bad, it should be changed, it shouldn't be ignored because the angels said so.
Saying the pledge was (and still is in many places) a law and students were suspended for not saying it and parents were charged with keeping their kids out of school. Amish kids may need to get more schooling but the Supreme Court ruled they are exempted from compulsory attendance laws and they are not required to get education further than the 8th grade.
The religious loopholes are provided by the 1st Amendment.
That's absolutely terrible. I don't like throwing around the word Fascist, since it's used way too much, but forcing kids to pledge allegiance to the country is pretty Fascisty. And saying kids are exempt from High School because of religion is just asinine.
So yeah, not only is Christianity not under attack, but some Christians have rights they shouldn't have.
Only if Jewish and Japanese people get reparations.

"Tried"...like it's some kind of dirty trick to provide a plethora of evidence of what you're claiming doesn't happen happening all day, every day, all across the country? Seriously, lay down the crack pipe.
Punished...for being against homosexuality, perversion, and mental illness...based on being Christian...hence, punished for being Christian. Try to keep up.
Idiotic apples and oranges fallacy. Yelling violent threats at people isn't a tenant of Christianity...and yelling violent threats at people crosses into violating another person's rights, whereas opting out of participating and endorsing in homosexual marriage, for instance, violates no one's rights. Try again, brainiac.
The same standard...in the sense that literally no one else is being ordered to violate their beliefs, jailed, fined, sued into bankruptcy, and silenced for their religion. Yes, except for in every sense of the word, the standard Christians are being held to is exactly the "same." What a fucking idiot.
Translation: YOU want to be able to smear anything you don't like as hate speech.
Political violence is the left's gig, not mine. Try again.
Muslims...the people you defend as a religion of peace and tolerance, execute homosexuals all over the world, as part of their bloodthirsty death cult's teachings. Funny you should bring up the one group of people that prove everything you are saying to be a lie. And for the record, Muslims aren't forced to violate their religion even when they go out of their way to take jobs that violate their religious views...

Which you are the only one here failing to comprehend. Free religious exercise is a right. Forcing others to endorse and participate in your lifestyle is not a right. Seriously. Crack open a book sometime.
Only your "religion of peace" does that, imbecile.

No shit. Which is why it's not legal to force someone to endorse and participate in your lifestyle. Are gay people trying to force you to attend gay weddings or something?
I'm not part of a religion, so not sure what you're imagining.Only your "religion of peace" does that, imbecile.
