Disappointment
You are trying to substantiate your argument with an anti-"Christian
Conservative" website? You're right! I did LOL.
Pssst. Hey, NOYB, just between you and I, I think that website is trying to
explore the entire assortment of Christian perspectives on issues. (Tough
concept for a lot of folks who sincerely believe their only private
understanding is the only one that could possibly be valid, or Christian.) Does
the introduction of ideas not in lock-step with your own perceptions somehow
threaten conservative Christianity? Why? If you're so absolutely right, you
have nothing to fear.
Plus, we're talking a matter of constitutional law, not religion. I only used
the graph from that website because it seemed to illustrate our opposite
positions so clearly.

MIssion statement from your "anti- conservative Christian" website:
Points of concern:
It is our policy to compare and contrast the beliefs and practices of very
conservative with very liberal Christians. Most North American Christians
belong to either a mainline denomination or the Roman Catholic Church. Their
own faith group may teach some beliefs similar to the conservative wing of
Christianity. Some beliefs are similar to that of the liberal wing. Some
beliefs are intermediate between the two.
We feel that it is important for persons of all faith groups (Christian and
non-Christian) to understand the great diversity of Christian beliefs -- both
among denominations today and throughout history. Many Christians are aware of
their own denomination's current beliefs, but are unfamiliar with the history
of those beliefs, or of the teachings of other denominations.

Doesn't sound anti-conservative to me. Sounds like a group of folks more
interested in finding the truth than following a dogma.
