It's too bad that you, and I, appear to be in the minority. Not a small minority, roughly 48%, but it only takes that extra 2 percent to strip the other 48 of their rights in the US. I know bigotry in general is responsible for this, but religion is the bedskirt that such bigotry hides behind. In the final balance of social benefits vs. detriments, religion is an anachronism and social evil and must be excised. We lived with slavery for thousands of years of human civilization, but in relatively recent years we (mostly) got rid of that. C'mon; we can do the same for religion!
