That's pretty much it. Most people are insecure and also have not studied out in any real sense, why they believe as they do. So, when threatened they become dogmatic and defensive because they don't know where else to turn.Significant differences + proximity = conflict. The fact is that people are generally more comfortable around other people who are similar to them in most respects. This is true pretty much all across the world. I don't think we have a right to be surprised by this anymore.
I understand this concern because not vaccinating your children can effect other people besides you and your children. Most Christians have their children vaccinated.Don't want to vaccinate your kids?
I don't understand why non-Christians should care what we think about marriage now that they have the legal right to a legal state marriage. We shouldn't have to condone it anymore than they need to condone our beliefs.Don't think marriage applies to anyone but a man and a woman?
Why should they care where we send our kids to school? We pay for it ourselves and still pay taxes that support the public school system.Don't want to send your kids to government run schools?

Not having those kids in school means they don't have the expenses of those kids. They don't have to build larger schools, hire more teachers, buy more books, buy more classroom materials, etc.They care because schools lose ~$7K for each student who is not enrolled. In NY, I read yesterday that it is ~$20K.
That's not telling me why they care what we think about their martial status. Oh yeah, there has been a few confrontations like the baker, but the laws are on their side and in general most people are abiding by those laws.Seriously? Never read 1984? Are you truly unaware of the oppressive nature of political correctness, which suppresses speech? Merely stating opposition to gay marriage ensures all manner of vitriol and retribution. See cake baker.
I don't understand your response.LOL Not if vaccines work.

Smaller classes are beneficial to the students in the public schools.

I don't base my reality off fictional books.Really? You do not grasp what 1984 is about. The secular humanists do not want opposition to their religion. That is why they care what we think. Read 1984 and you will understand.
NOT vaccinating your children is a danger to other peoples children, pregnant women, and even some adults.How can vaccines be a danger to others IF they work and EVERYONE ELSE gets them?

How can this be IF vaccines work?
So no reason for traffic laws if seatbelts work!

Vaccines work, but are not 100% effective.
