Yeah. The reaction of the Christian right was a clue on how radical the demand was. They understood that it challenged something fundamental in their world view. If solidarity (a la Carrol Cox, a position I entirely agree with) and justice weren't compelling enough reasons to support the demand, then annoying the Christian right would be the last Word on the issue.
