The U.S. is actually a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The Constitution's 1st Amendment protects against the establishment of religious law regardless of 85% (or 100%) of the populace wanting it. It prevents some other bad things too which otherwise could happen as a result of what's often referred to as a Tyranny of the Majority.

I was going to use the term 'atheism' but I pictured the almost inevitable digression into an argument over whether or not the refutation of supernatural beliefs can have status as a belief itself (so why don't atheists just keep quiet), so I constructed that less than ideal substitute description.

So, back to your question, one example of expressing that right is to tell your politicians that religion should have no influence over law making.

He mentioned 'religious preferences' , but you refer to simply 'preferences'. Not sure what you're saying.

Every American has the right - and should have the right - to fully express their religious preferences within the democratic process, even if we don't like it.

How do you feel about every American's right to express their disagreement with any/all religious preferences in general, within the democratic process?
