A bullshit excuse used by conservatives and the religious right to justify using their beliefs as weapons to preach against others who don't believe in what they do. They claim that their right to speech (hate and discriminate) against anything they find immoral or against their ideology should be protected and legalizing something like abortion or same-sex marriage would infringe on their rights and hurt their "religious freedom" (to hate).
Tom: So how's everything going?
Mike: Pretty damn good. I'm very happy.
Tom: Niiice.
Mike: Yeah, Scott and I have been together for almost 6 years now and it's been amazing. I love him.
Tom: ...
Mike: I think I'm going to ask him to marry me.
Tom: WTF? That's fucking gay!
Mike: ...Well, we are gay...
Tom: That's so wrong and nasty. I'm offended. God hates that gay shit, and it's my religious freedom to not put up with your sin.
Mike: ...I'm sorry you feel that way. We're not going to marry in a church. The county is going to marry us.
Tom: Fuck that. That's wrong and I don't agree. Don't forget to send me an invite, faggot. I'm going to be there with my posse to protest that shit. I'm a christian and you can't force that gay shit on me.

Get the Religious Ignorance mug.Related Words
A religious masturbator is one who worships god as he or she has nothing better to do with their lives. Often, the point of being religious is to use churches and other christian events as social venues. They try to make God a 'cool dude' basicaly giving God a funboy image like themselves. Religious masturbators, or RMs for short, are often on the pull and use their apparant innocence as an RM in this act, unfortunately, most girls fall for this and in turn, usualy become RMs themselves.
If you go into a church and see a lad sitting in the middle of a group of girls wearing jeans, and an open collared white with light blue striped shirt, hair plastered with gel, u are looking at a religious masturbator

Get the religion and politics mug.The concept of interpreting the Bible or other religious texts outside of a literal sense; finding the meaning that was intended behind specific stories, parables, or teachings. Generally when searching for religious truth, one takes into account the time period, the society, the audience, and the writing styles used. This allows religious scholars to understand the Koran the way the first Muslims would have, or to understand the problems and solutions outlined in one of Paul's Epistles.
Luke's Gospel is a good example of the concept of religious truth. The religious truth of Luke's Gospel is that Jesus came for all humanity, especially the poor and marginalized members of society. This is especially shown in his birth narrative, which portrays Jesus being born in a stable and sleeping in a manger. The birth narrative also shows shepherds as the first to hear the good news of Jesus' birth; shepherds were extremely low-class citizens in ancient Jewish society.
