Don't use politics to impose your beliefs? Then why is it that I cannot buy beer on Sunday? Why do Churches get special Buffer Zones around them?
Why are the stores required to be closed on Sunday until noon? Why can't I do construction work on Sunday? Why can't I hunt in certain places on Sunday?
I agree with you. Its time for you christians to band together and fight to repeal all those "Blue Laws". Since you don't want to impose your religon on us heathens.

Most blue laws are not enforced anymore, or have been repealed. And that's not imposition of religion. Originally (like in colonial connecticut) they were brutal, and simply idiotic-being completely unbiblical. Now, in the few places they're enforced, they're relatively mild being mostly what you describe. But again, that's not imposition, it's simply left-overs from a one-time Christian country. These laws for the past 230 years were not meant to impose beliefs, but to make Sunday a day of rest for Christians-just about everyone at that time; they did this by closing businesses. They protected Christians' "civil rights". I'd refute the original "bloody laws" in New England, but those haven't been practiced in 300 years.
But, since there is no evidence of forced conversion; and since no one's forcing you to go to church, nor practice any of our beliefs, I think that you'll survive, and in so doing, you'll look up the meaning of religious imposition.

Completely untrue. Those acts were commited by splinter far-right wing political groups-there are no such Christian groups.
