In my view, equality is one thing, forced embracement will only result in resentment. And, btw, I don't actively practice any particular religion. I just feel that if equality mean acceptance, that is one thing. Forcing people to embrace something that they are fundamentally against is persecution.
No one is forcing you to "embrace" anything. All they are saying is that everyone gets treated equally.
Not sure exactly how you are defining "embrace" but it is pretty clear that you have no problem with forcing everyone else to "embrace" your beliefs.
Sorry, but we don't work like that in th United Staes. Here everyone is treated equally. No one can discriminate against either Christians or non-Christians. Everyone gets the same protection. Everyone plays by the same rules. I don't see how you can't grasp such a simple concept.
