Well, not to defend these cretins, but that's not at all what happened. It was an "opt-in" thing, and they did not.

fuck their bigoted nonsense, but saying "they ripped the patches off" is absolutely not what happened.

Every month is Pride Month for Christians. Every day is their NCOD.

That would be laudable and ideal, except they deny that joy to others.

A little similar to the phrase coined buy Wordsworth and the English romantic poets (whose lives preceded but overlapped with his) are known for: The child is father to the man. Among the meanings attributed to that line is the idea that we lose rather than gain our understanding of nature and our place in it as we age and become shaped by worldly experience, which would include our religious indoctrination.

That connection may be a bit of a reach, but it strikes me as valid.

One of the all time great speeches. Incredible opening:

In this refulgent summer, it has been a luxury to draw the breath of life. The grass grows, the buds burst, the meadow is spotted with fire and gold in the tint of flowers. The air is full of birds, and sweet with the breath of the pine, the balm-of-Gilead, and the new hay. Night brings no gloom to the heart with its welcome shade. Through the transparent darkness the stars pour their almost spiritual rays. Man under them seems a young child, and his huge globe a toy. The cool night bathes the world as with a river, and prepares his eyes again for the crimson dawn. The mystery of nature was never displayed more happily.
