Scoring key:
If "A" is your answer then perhaps
your religious liberty is indeed at stake. You and your faith group have every
right to now advocate for equal protection under the law. Fight for equality -- not superiority. If you answered "B" to any
question, there is a
strong chance you're oppressing the religious liberties of others. Refer back to the tenets of your
faith, especially the ones about neighbors.
