    First problem I heard - the understanding on where rights come from. If rights come from Government, they can be taken away. If rights come from God, they cannot be taken away they need only to be safe guarded (the constitution is a safeguard of those rights.) This is the underlying argument of a socialist mindset - to make Government the center. However, separation between church (religion) and Government is important because of a matter of conscious, should be left to the individual to have a relationship with God, without Government imposing or denying matters of a relationship. Hence the wall of separation is necessary to maintain a healthy governance without imposition.
    But this is where it is problematic - forcing someone to do something against their beliefs is not right (such as serving homosexuals.) But people should be allowed to have whatever relationship they should choose as consenting adults. And this is where the rub has come in the public sphere. Forced acceptance is wrong - and it has been pushed on Christians. Now you are facing the opposite, which is also wrong.
    I don't know project 2025 well, but it does, do some great things to safeguard freedoms. The question is what happens to the wall? History shows if Government and Religion combine, persecution will happen, even to other Christian groups. But there must also be an acknowledgement that MUTUAL tolerance of other beliefs, must be accepted.

    2nd problem - Marriage is a Christian Concept within the US, Period. Anything else is something else - but it's not marriage. This can be seen from the founding of the nation as it has been a Christian nation and therefore marriage and its true origin will always be Christian in this country. The real way to come to an equitable consensus on this issue is introducing a union and marriage. Homosexual marriages will never be accepted the same as heterosexual marriages by true Christians because if violates direct biblical teaching. If you believe acceptance should be forced, you are part of the problem because you are in favor of pushing a narrative on someone else regarding their personal views that violates their religious freedom. But a government can define a union in whatever way it decides and assign whatever rights it chooses. So Marriage simply becomes a particular type of union. But a union can have the definition and rights assigned by the state. This maintains, the church/state separation. However, this has not been accepted by the more liberal side of the country because it is fundamentally about forcing acceptance, rather than about rights. And this is why there is a push to remove the wall. It is a retaliation against the forced incursion against Christians rights to believe as they wish. (And then add in the abortion issue.)
