Isn't the
attitude Alan's identifies as "the idea that religious people will somehow
stop existing" better stated as the idea that religion should be privatized?
Many who hold the latter view sincerely believe in a robust and well-defended
area of religious worship, conduct, and _expression_. Indeed many believe
that such privatization is precisely the point of the religion clauses in the
First Amendment. This idea contends that it is constitutionally a mistake
to think that religion should be privatized and (with privatization) have
(arguably) special protections while at the same time be considered an equal
regarding governmental benefits.
