Paul Kurtz is right, but what he says can be applied much more broadly. Its not just militant religious that use the political process to try to impose views. Militant environmentalists do it. Militant supporters of just about any movement you can think of do it. The problem arises not when these political actions are in an effort to establish fairness for all views, but when they are pushed in an effort to elevate their cause at the expense of other views - including the majority.
