When they feel they have God "on their side," some people will trample the rights of others with impunity.  \nTo me, a good example of this is the same-sex marriage debate - since the state gives all rights associated with marriage like taxation and adoption, religion should have no say in the matter.  Yet many people cite religious reasons for maintaining such hatreds and prejudices, and think it perfectly OK.  I wonder how they miss completely how hypocritical this is . . .

But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. \n\nSteven Weinberg

Also translated as "Truly, whoever is able to make you absurd is able to make you unjust," the quote comes from Voltaire's "Questions sur les miracles" (1765).  \n\nIn the original French, the quote is: "Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste."
