And there is no reason why people of a majority religion should have either more or fewer rights than those of a minority religion.

I did not mean that people of any religion have more or fewer rights than anyone else. I meant that while all religions can be objectionable to people of different beliefs, only the dominant religion also threatens establishment. Only the dominant religion can be both objectionable and dangerous to a free people. At worst, the others are merely objectionable. It is an important point. It speaks directly to the brush off that "if you object, don't..." as though one were merely claiming an annoyance rather than a threat to the Republic.
