Yeah, the Monroe Doctrine of the soul. Bleah. I was tempted to include Baptists as part of my naming-and-shaming rant, but I've not had much direct experience with them myself. They tend to have a much more low-key presence in the antipodes (they're even defined as a centrist church).
And I think this is one of the drawbacks of democracies, where the majority can dictate the rights of a significant minority. I'm glad I live in places where religion is a very minor (although mouthy) part of the political discourse.
