Because the religious right is intent on forcing us to believe their way, they will not understand until we counter attack them and make their lives miserable. That mean making religions a legitimate target because they insist on changing the government to THEIR way. That is what SCOTUS is all about. Since they complain so much about persecution then we should show them what real persecution is. Otherwise they will not relent.
Think about the religious right as an INSURGENCY against democracy and they have been allow to get into a position where they just about OWN the Supreme Court. Plan on more egregious decisions in the future.
Attacking their religion is now and them politically and publicly is open game now. Unless non believers are willing to become proactive and counter attack them with demonstrations, openly critical bumper stickers etc, we will eventually lose. In their eyes they have the initiative on mane the US a theocracy now with SCOTUS and the GOP as their ally.
Start with memes like "ban religion", "tax churches", etc. They are smearing anyone who supports secularism and separation of church and state.

Too many churches have become an arm of the Republican Party anyway.
If that ugly group can disrupt funerals, I sure can oppose tax exemptions for them.
I don't hold out much hope for success, but I'll meme my heart out.
