I missed the memo where it was cool to beat up on conservative Christians. Some people on the twitter feed who purport to be tolerant of all faiths seem to get genuine glee out of doing so. I highly doubt any Muslim and Jewish candidates will garner a similar level of scrutiny. It seems we are to be tolerant except when we encounter religious views we vehemently dislike.
Perhaps one of the lawyers on the board can answer this question but does a religious view of "homosexuality as a sin" constitute "hate speech"? I think that's an important question and seems to be the implication in the reaction I'm reading.
