It's also unlikely that America will value each individual regardless of race, religion (or lack of), ability, gender, sexuality, nation of origin, etc, but we're still working toward it. https://t.co/ly2zfbsXBQ

Excluding religious *people* isn't inclusive. Asking that people who represent the entire nation avoid using sectarian rhetoric isn't the same thing. There is no equivalency between excluding millions with sectarian rhetoric and asking people to not use that rhetoric. https://t.co/qTcJqywLVY
