I thought this was an interesting article about the idea of secular tolerance, which has really become a mainstream philosophy in America and how it is butting heads with Christian belief. Many things intrigue me about this situation, but one of them that I have not thought about much before is how tolerance, if executed purely, would mean that no one has a right to impose their beliefs on another. However, if they are fighting this case, it seems quite peculiar to me that they are saying that Christain organizations are being discriminant by not allowing people of different beliefs into their organization. It is as if they are expressing their intolerance of christian beliefs and that they believe they they have the right to decide what should be tolerated and what shoud not be. This is sounding a lot more like a religion and less like an opinion...who or what has given them the authority to claim that they have the right, just like everyone else, to do whatever they want to and that everyone should tolerate it, but then turn around and have not just an opinion, but a right and authority to not tolerate other beliefs.
