I'd appreciate some concrete examples of how they affect you, in all honesty id say the welfare state imposes itself on those opposed to socialism to a far greater degree. What do you want to do that you can't specifically because of religion?

Stem Cell research isn't repressed, state funding is limited but in a similar point to what i said above and to Nod, why shouldn't it be? The society that elected the president and ultimately funds the research is divided over the issue. Private funding exists, but id think a limit on state funding considering the debate wasn't overly draconian. Obviously there shouldn't be state funding to eliminate this kind of debate.

Peter Kay didn't link truth to comfort, he doesn't even accept the supernatural aspects of christianity, he just finds it comforting; again to reiterate, this isn't about the scientific method.
