Right, the difference is that they do not try to influence anyone but their members, other than the occasional pre-arranged legal rally.
If that is all churches did, I would never talk about them.
You don't hear me complaining about the Jewish church, or Wiccans or others, why?
Because they don't try to infiltrate their beliefs beyond where they are wanted and are legally allowed.

I am all for personal religious freedom, as long as it stays out of the government in all ways, no breech of separation of church and state, and breaks no laws, no special treatment in ANY way.
You teach a kid that hell is real it should be treated in the courts the same way as if you told him you knew a serial killer down the street that will torture him forever if he breaks your rules... as abuse, which is what it is.
