I posted the above link earlier. Stanley Kurtz is a self-described secularist and is decidedly not in "our camp" on many issues, but he does a good job articulating what "we're afraid of" and he agrees we have good reason to be.
A sampling:
"Traditional Christians are openly excoriated in the mainstream press as evil, fascist, segregationist bigots. Their political speech is placed under legislative threat. Their institutions of higher education are attacked and destroyed. Naturally, America’s traditional Christians are fighting back. They’ve turned to the political process in hopes of securing for themselves a space in which to exist. Weary of being the butt of hatred by those who proclaim tolerance, conservative Christians are complaining, with justice, about the all-too-successful attempts to exclude them from society."
So if you really want an answer to your question, Morganika, read this article.
