The Constitution clearly says that religions are considered a protected group. That’s why they have been included in all hate crime and anti-discrimination laws from the very beginning.

Hate crimes legislation will be used to persecute the church. Believers will find they have to do as the church did in the beginning and meet in private homes. My family and I are already doing that.

All hate crimes should be prosecuted. No one should be able to hide behind the guise of religion to get away with any sort of crime.

Yes, but the religious bigots (Democrats) in control of Congress don’t think so. The homosexuals who attacked churches to protest PROP 8 should be prosecuted for hate crimes.

Hate crime legislation should apply to hate, in any form. If someone attacks another because of their religion (or lack of religion), it is just as bad as someone attacking someone for a biological trait.
