Some people would not know the truth if it hit them in the head with a shovel.

To our own harm, our children's harm, and our nations harm, we have not kept this commandment.
Leviticus 20:13. KJV
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
The love of one's neighbor as one's own self has detoured us.

you are being fed a pile of bull. No church or minister of any religion is required to marry anyone. About a year ago a minister in Alabama refused to marry an interracial couple and....nothing happened because what he did was perfectly legal.

So non-religious people should not be able to get married then, correct?
So? They can want a million dollars. What they want here has nothing to do with the Indiana law.
You pose the question "Free speech or religious freedom." Why is it either/or? If Christians and gays could learn to compromise, we wouldn't have these problems.
But they spend more time on homosexuality then, say, gluttony, which is by far a more wide spread problem. Why is that?
How many other people must change to non-sinners to join your church?

What are you even talking about? You don't need religious officials to solemnize marriage. You can get married by almost anyone.
Plus many churches *already* discriminate about who they will marry, between heterosexual couples. Many won't marry you if you haven't taken their class or aren't a member of their church. There haven't been any lawsuits from that practice.
You're harping on a boogeyman that doesn't exist.
Righteousness is the new evil, but it is not like it wasn't predicted.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

I still haven't gotten an explanation on how allowing FOR PROFIT businesses to refuse to serve anyone based on a religious freedom objection is supported by Christian teaching.
How the Indiana Law is Different
The other issue here is actually generating the backlash you're so afraid of, over something that isn't even scriptural.

Christianity does not want to give human rights to gays. This is why I keep trying to point out the similarities between Islamic Shari'a Law and "Christian Shari'a Law."
If that be blasphemy, then so be it.
Why are so many liberals opposed to having both? I know why right wing Christians are opposed to it, but why are the liberals?

Gay rights are in the constitution as well, in the Sixth Amendment:
". . .the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. . ."

Which is it?
Do you want Christians to compromise their beliefs or do you want gays to compromise their sexual habits?

It is called "ostracizing." Os·tra·cize, to exclude (someone) from a society or group.
Again, marriage is a religious concept. It is for a man and a woman.
Genesis 2:24
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Did you read any of links that came up on your google search?
For instance the first link City threatens to arrest ministers who refuse to perform same-sex weddings isn't about a church it is about a registered as for profit business. It isn't a church or place of worship, its a storefront selling drive through weddings (there is sanctity of marriage for you) as a for profit business that means that means the owners must comply with a local and state nondiscrimination ordinance.
