FREEDOM OF SPEECH and FREEDOM BY BIBLICAL TRUTH have been outlawed in America. They have been replaced by corporate greed, that money is free to lie, and freedom to chose your sexual gender. Any other opinions are condemned and the holder persecuted.

“Any other opinions are condemned and the holder persecuted.”
Crazy how the OP had to smuggle this message out of wrong-opinion-prison, written on toilet paper and sewn into the lining of a prison reform advocate’s tie, or we’d never know just how FUCKING PERSECUTED they’ve been…
Contradicting this is that I see a lot of corporate propaganda mixed in with divine claims. Just look at American libertarians. Admitedly, there are many Christians who don't consider them real Christians, but whatever. But persecution complex is also part of the Christian tradition. If you want to know if you're really persecuted, verify if your right to meet at Church was removed (and I don't mean temporarily because of a health crisis). If your books have been banned. If your people are put in jail for owning those books. That's persecution. Apart from that, your claim is false. Religious freedom is part of the US constitution. Of course that does not mean the right for religious people to establish a theocracy or to persecute other people.
Something else is that some are exploiting the legal framework around religion to attempt to pass extremist political propaganda, hate speech and dehumanization narratives. This complicates things. Often a way to determine this is to study propaganda trends, comparing traditional doctrine with the current propaganda. Comparing traditional groups with grassrooting and astroturfing, new extremist cults, etc.
What in the blue hell is “FREEDOM BY BIBLICAL TRUTH” even supposed to mean? The “freedom” to impose your interpretation of the Bible on everyone else, I guess? Ugh, though…I’ve said this before a few times here, I think, but I really feel like sometimes Christians and other religious folks are speaking a different language than me. At times I feel like I need a “believer to atheist” translation dictionary…ya know, like those little paperback books I used to see that were nothing but a list of French or whatever language’s words translated to English, lol (all obsolete now thanks to Google Translate and such, I suppose)

And presumably, the freedom to speak nonsense, but resulting in unhappyness and cognitive dissonance when other people criticize it. If "cancel culture" has no impact, "have been outlawed!"
I think that it's also fear propaganda, hoping to convince people, to vote for the incompetents some have been sporting on this website. One more lie hidden among so many lies doesn't risk tainting one's reputation anymore...
