This article questions the definition of religious freedom and what is to become of it in the near future.  Many claim that same sex marriages are going to ruin religious freedom, but the article argues that this is not the case.  It claims that those who oppose the acceptance of same sex marriage will cause the ruin of religious freedom.  More states are starting to legalize same sex marriages but there are many more that do not.  Many are afraid of how this will affect the church and the people's beliefs.  This article gives examples of people who are determined to keep certain things out of the church. The article talks about a Christian minister who believes that sexual orientation and gender identity is "undermining religious freedom."  This same minister also believes that religious discrimination in the work place should be allowed.  People are set in their ways and do not want to make a change.  This is what is hurting religious freedom.
