Americans United has been saying all along that while these classes can be objective in theory, in practice they are often not – and that many of the legislators pushing them don’t really want objective instruction about the Bible; they want Sunday School lessons that reflect biblical literalism.

Americans United warned government officials years ago to keep Kim Davis at arm’s length. Far from being a hero, she’s just a plain old lawbreaker, an extremist who decided that her religion gave her the right to use a taxpayer-funded position to deny others rights that were affirmed by the highest court in the land.

The problem is that some conservative Christians care more for their theological doctrines than they do for people in need. And this is why some Christians are, unfortunately, becoming known more for discriminating against certain groups than for loving all people.
