education or legislation?

he fact remains that A LOT of American christians advocate for legislation that forces their beliefs and morality on others in a society founded upon the idea that that shouldnt happen.
How so? Don't get moral beliefs confused with religious beliefs. While somewhat connected, they are also different in many ways. What laws have been passed that forces people toward a particular religion?

Link? And random blog posts by 20-somethings about are "atheist" because its hip dont count.
Even the most anti-religion guys Ive ever heard speak, guys like Dawkins and Hitchens, only advocated for scorn of religion but did not support legislation limiting religious freedom.

Education. I see no legislation being proposed that says people cant practice whatever religion they want in America. Now, if you consider gay marriage or evolution in schools or abortion an affront to your religious freedom then I cant help you because we're talking past each other.

The only reason that gay marriage is illegal in most states is because of a society trying to impose christian morals on everyone. The same applies to pretty much every piece of legislation governing the sale of alcohol, strip clubs, sex shops, etc.
