However, it's just par for the course for Evangelicals and conservative Christians to use religious belief as their argument to define and discriminate against another class of people.  Jim Crow Laws are the perfect example, and so was the treatment of Native Americans, and so now too, the treatment of LGBT and women's reproductive rights.  I suppose none of this should be shocking when the prevailing view of God in conservative Christian and Catholic circles is that of a white heterosexual male.
