religious freedom?

So, they feel that if they are not allowed to discriminate against gay and lesbian folk or others, then society is infringing upon their religious freedom, and specifically, "Christian Liberty". 
I would like to know what "religion" they are practicing.  It is NOT Christianity, because this is in NO way the way of THE CHRIST. 
Their rhetoric is persecution-oriented, but not at the people they want to persecute.  They are claiming to be persecuted against because they are not allowed to discriminate against others.  These poor, persecuted beings want the religious freedom to live out their hatred, bigotry and discrimination without any response by society. 
They follow the heritage of those who persecuted non-believers and Jews in the inquisition, Muslims in the Crusades, the Native Americans in the land they arrived on to ESCAPE persecution, Africans in the slave trade, African-Americans after, women, now the LGBT community and countless others in their path.  They certainly have lived up to the standard that hateful people have set for generations, using the name of Jesus freely as they hate.  But they are NOT Christians.
They can call themselves HATEFUL Jewish believers or HATEFUL Paulites (because Paul had his issues at times, but even Paul, when talking about Christian Liberty was addressing not having to live by dietary codes, and said that "we preach Christ and Him crucified" - not hatred) or they can call themselves HATEFUL anything else... maybe HATEFUL, IGNORANT MISBELIEVERS.  But they are NOT Christians.
I think we have to get rid of that word.  The good news, is that it has covered a large umbrella of believers for many centuries.  The bad news is that it has been hi-jacked by HATEFUL people.  Labeled as such, out of their duplicity, innocent folk do not see them coming, and they DO  NOT REPRESENT THE CHRIST in their hatred.  They do not follow THE CHRIST.
We are PEOPLE OF THE WAY OF JESUS, who live according to Jesus' command to live Agape Love (active commitment on behalf of the other, even stranger and enemy - Luke 10:25-37).  We do not expect that our "religious freedom" will allow us to deny people contraceptives or pap smears who work for us (as SOME "Christian" employers insist is their right in the face of the ACA), or to not hire folks for our chicken restaurants (closed on Sundays because of our beliefs, but discriminatory in our hiring practices), or to refuse service to people who do not believe like us, or are not our same sexual orientation.  We welcome EVERYONE, because we are taught that by THE CHRIST.  Our Christian Freedom is about living the Love of God freely, without hesitation or reservation, and certainly without discrimination.
I do not know what religion they practice, but they do not follow the Jesus of the Gospels, neither His teachings nor examples, so they should not use the name "Christian".
