Only religious conservatives, usually conservative Christians in the USA, are the ones who "shame" anyone not fitting their dogma. There was a time, not too long ago here in the USA, where a divorced woman, even if she left her husband because he was beating her, was looked down upon. One only has to look to other religions in other countries to realize when this shaming is given too much power, it resembles what Christianity in the USA used to look like; stoning people to death, witch burnings, sending people away from their village, whites being tainted with a black persons blood, etc... Only the elimination of all conservative Christians will allow all Americans to be free and the world to no longer have to live in fear of the U.S.A.'s imperialist, terrorist holy war. The conservative ideology has never helped mankind in any way, it has not only never helped mankind in anyway, it has oppressed, murdered, raped and killed all those in it's way to gain power. History shows us this. Fact shows us this. James Madison, the "Father of the U.S. Constitution", along with many founders of this country, regardless of their religious or non-religious affiliations, knew keeping politics and religion separate not only preserves each, but helps them flourish: "The number, the industry, and the morality of the Priesthood and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the Church and the State."
