Of course religious beliefs should not be "forced" on others in that others should not be coerced into accepting (or feigning acceptance of) the religious beliefs of another. What's irritating is the idea that taking one's theology "out in public" qualifies as forcing it on others. If that does indeed qualify, then she is committing the very act she condemns in condemning it. I believe the headline is valid but the idea expressed in the quote is not.

I would love to hear her respond to see if the light bulb would come on. I am repeatedly amazed and baffled as to how such irony can be lost on some people.
