While right-wing groups are mobilizing angry mobs to yell at school board members that parents have the right to control what their children are taught, evangelical pollster George Barna told religious-right activists at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand” summit Thursday that it is their duty to try to indoctrinate other people’s children into a “biblical worldview.”
Barna, one of the first senior fellows at FRC’s recently established Center for Biblical Worldview, specializes in studying what he calls “SAGE Cons”—Spiritually Active Governance Engaged Conservative Christians. What is most striking about FRC and Barna’s “worldview” project is how few people—and how few conservative evangelicals—measure up to their right-wing “biblical worldview” standard.
When the Center for Biblical Worldview launched in May, FRC President Tony Perkins said that a biblical worldview “is only achieved when a person believes that the Bible is true, authoritative, and then taught how it is applicable to every area of life, which enables them to live out those beliefs.”
Barna told “Pray Vote Stand” attendees that only 6 percent of American adults measure up to that standard of a biblical worldview—and only one out of five people who attend an evangelical church.
....Or here's an idea all religious people can be free to practice their religion as long as it hurts no one and doesn't infringe on other people's rights. It's simple really. It's a huge world out there and not everybody's going to believe in the same things you do and you just have to get over it. Don't push your shit on other people. We don't believe in it and stop trying to make us. Mind your own business and stop fucking up the world for the rest of us who just want to live peacefully with our families and friends.
It isn't annoying at best evangelicals are mentally ill
What you described as ideal is what the US is supposed to be, and what you described evangelicals as doing is what evangelicals are actually doing, and doesn't really rise above the level of annoying. Maybe they are mentally ill, but that doesn't make them anything beyond annoying.
But people do have a first amendment right to preach. They don't have a claim to a captive audience, though.
