And it gets more serious when God is telling our president what to do....and of course telling us what kind of science our children are or are not allowed to learn.
Sorry, but this discussion naturally leads right into religion and politics. Can of worms here.
But again, I'll support anyone's right to believe. Until they push it on me.

No you don't. Not really. You won't support anyone's right to believe. Your lack of self awareness is sad. At best, you tolerate, because you have to, in a framework of non violent civilisation at least.
No matter what anybody believes, being it the Good Lord of the Bible, Buddha ...or the Spaghettimonster in Secularia, will translate into behaviour and actions accordingly. So unless somebody else believes exactly the same as you do, there will always be friction and a "push it on me".
Don't be thin skinned. Religious people knocking on your door? Big deal. Do you despise sales men in equal measure?
