Rational Ideas: You're correct, of course, although I see your post has now been removed by the moderator.  Funny that, eh? We tolerate the inherent intolerance of some while we castigate socially conservative Christians. In this context, Adam Vaughan's attack on Scheer is just sheer hypocritical opportunism. Don't get me wrong here: I believe all religious dogma should be removed from politics, but it hardly seems reasonable to require a purge of one religious group's beliefs while apparently promoting understanding and tolerance for other brands of socially conservative religionism.
