The average religious person has their beliefs, but they're not trying to get people fired who don't have their beliefs. But zealots do do that.

That's what makes America great; the fabric and the core of our beliefs and our being is we wrap ourselves around diversity. We say that the American flag represents our right to be free in every aspect of what that is, and every veteran who fought, fought for that freedom.
