I certainly wouldn't be. Its the Christian Right trying to write their faith into law that gets my goat.
This trend may be showing signs of reversing itself, however. While the Christian Right is still as large a minority as ever, fewer more moderate christians are willing to listen to them. Meanwhile, the non-religious people are the fastest growing "religious" group in America, by far.
I'm optimistic!

I think everybody has a point at which they get involved in a given topic. Religious involvement in secular activities has increased and those who militate for the balance to move back in the other direction are the nontheists. The silent majority, regrettably, has very little moderating ability or they might have prevented this pendulum from swinging this far this time. Still, the pendulum is where it is, and the nontheists have started to have an effect.
Simply put, it's the nontheists turn to get up and do their bit. Next up? Maybe environmentalists (who may or may not be the same people as the nontheists).

No, not really.
I couldn't care less what anyone believes -- but when their beliefs start infringing on what I can do (buy alcohol on Sunday, raise my child in the religion of my choice, look forward to a future of great medical advances from stem cell research, etc...) -- that's when I have a problem.
Otherwise, go in peace to love and serve whatever you want.

I've noticed a steady decline throughout the non-political world. Politics don't bother me.

Christianity has always been in US politics until the 1960's when evolution invaded our schools and politicians. Secular Humanist religion pulled the wool over intelligent eyes. Evolution lies and frauds began and when they were disproven no one bothered to announce them as fraud.

No, because then another person's religious dogma would not be forced on anyone else.

I never was before. It has been partially that it has been getting worse, and partially because it has worn on me over time.

They would have to find something else to oppose since there isn't anything they stand for.
