people don't hate christians because of legislation. pysex has the impression that we as christians believe we're better than everyone else. that doesn't come from legislation. I don't know where it comes from.

but let's say it does, what legislation is being/has been put forth purely on religious arguments? the best you guys could come up with is the post office. well they're not the only government institution closed on sundays, and sure as hell not the only business in general closed on sundays. you can go on assuming it was for religious reasons, or I could argue that it's probably because everybody takes that day off anyways, so that's why they chose it. but until someone comes up with the magic link to the legislation that says "The U.S post office shall be closed on Sundays for Christians", it's just a bunch of speculation.

Either way, the Christian hate that's so rampant is most definitely not caused because they don't get their electric bill and credit card offers on Sundays.

Cathryn named a few issues that do have proponents that argue exclusively from a religious standpoint. Here's a short list of things I can think of:

Gay marriage
Bigamy/polygamy
Sodomy (yes, I know these laws were struck down in 2003)
Intelligent design in public schools
