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.

Actually, the way I understand, the 1st amendment to the US constitution guarantees an American the right to freely practice their religion.  Does it not?

And by forcing folks to take part in a ceremony that they do not believe in, forcing them to go against their religious beliefs, is forcing them to embrace a fringe culture that they should not.
