This article sums it up pretty well. Of course, I didn't write it, but
hopefully you'll get the

Sorry you're disappointed, but it's not the first time and probably won't be the last.

Judging from that article I'd have to say that the author, and
probably you, share some confusion about the difference between
values, religious beliefs and political beliefs. Sometimes reasonable
people with high values have to agree to disagree. More importantly,
it is inappropriate to try and impose your religious beliefs on others
and then accuse them of lacking "values".
Other than, possibly, the first one, there is nothing religious there. I
don't consider the first
one a religious position. 'Marriage' was an institution that had some
meaning. Now liberals,
especially, have made it a sham. And, I agree that 'it is 'it is
inappropriate to try and impose
your religious beliefs on others', and that includes atheists imposing
theirs. If you can't read
that and determine what 'values' are being discussed, then I can understand your comments.
Funny post, really, and it shows how disconnected you are.
Please explain how liberals have made marriage a sham and while you are
at it, tell how atheists are "imposing" their beliefs. Atheists don't
give a damn about your religious beliefs so long as you don't try to
impose them on others. Atheists aren't imposing their beliefs on
anyone...there are no door to door atheist.
Atheists are using the court to enforce their beliefs. The door to door
missionary is at least honest about their views, and you can just close the
door in their face.
I'm not aware of any court cases in which atheists are trying to force
their non-belief in a creator on anyone else. Atheists do use the courts
to attempt to keep religion out of the public schools and to keep
religion out of public facilities and out of public budgets, actions
they are entitled to take. There is nothing dishonest about this.
