Comments like this stink. They show no liberalism, no understanding of our society, just the plain old urge to push the state's coercion into all aspects of people's lives.

It's not contradictory to liberalism. Liberalism is not the right to do anything. That's anarchy. Liberalism stipulates that your rights can only go so far as to not infringe on the rights of others. As such, you need prioritize rights. So what you would perceive an infringements of your rights can in fact be the application liberalism.
If the religious people were all on another planet, their actions would be none of my business. As they are not, and I am a stakeholder in this one, it is my business.
