"This is what we get when we have freedom of religion,” protester Christine Weick told ABC13 angrily.
Yes, this wonderful, deluded, fanatical Christian protestor does not like freedom of religion. You can see her in her full, hateful spewing glory in the video that is in the article from the TV station.
Probably influenced by David Barton, who specifically pushes the idea that the founders only intended for christians to have freedom of religion.
He's demonstrably wrong, but that doesn't stop him, and there are a number of people who like this idea who don't much care that it's factually challenged.

That's the way most of the Christians are around here, except that they don't even like other Christian groups. I grew up Southern Baptist and we were taught that ALL other Christian groups were wrong and would be going to hell.

Your lucky you were just exposed to Southern Baptists.
They are amateurs as opposed to the Calvinists that frequent my area.
In like 2009 or so, I took a road trip, trying to move out. After staying with my sister for awhile, I went to WWOOF, and organic farming system, some of which offer stipends. The first one that I tried, not only didn't, but it was a cult known as Twelve Tribes (wikipedia has an article on it).
Basic principles: Bunch of long-haired, long-bearded German folk, with very 7th-day Adventist/Jewish background. All other religions but them are wrong, because they pronounce Jesus "Ya-shua", and supposedly the Jesus other people believe in is actually a pagan version (one person compared it to "Hey-Zeus" ). They believe that all people will have a first death until end times, and then a second death where people get snuffed out. I saw people who seemed to have doubts suddenly want conversion (classic plant trick), I saw people getting worked on, I saw some people screaming and dunking themselves in water, and other people throwing away their interests because the elders said it wasn't serving God. Final straw was when they had a out of context sermon about "whoever does not hate his family and follow me..." uhhhh yea, you guys aren't Jesus, you're a control system. I know what Jesus is. I slipped out the back.
Oh yea, and they had wedding "pre-enactments" as in "this is how you imagine your wedding to be" as if it could ever actually be the way you predicted. Foolishness.
When conservative Christians say "freedom of religion", they mean freedom for their religion only.
