Yes...a bit of sarcasm. In our country, Fundamentalist Christians want to deny rights to people because of what they have done that harms no one else, just because those Christians believe it is a sin. Not believing in Christ is one of the biggest sins of all. However, you hear nothing about denying rights to Muslims or Buddhists. Why is that?

You mean that foundational belief that we should love God with all our heart, soul and mind? That one?
How about "Thou shalt place no other God before Me"? Sounds pretty foundational to me.

Tell me, if you criticize another Christian for their "mistaken" interpretation of the Bible, or their actions that seem unBiblical, are you criticizing Christ? If not, why do you think I am criticizing Christ when I point out seemingly contradictory actions by Christians in my country?

Rather sad though!
What makes it sad to you?

But at any rate, you are right. Nobody can judge the human heart except God. However, we can (and should) indeed stand up and act on laws/behaviours that are intrisically wrong.
Like allowing competing religions or ideas.

To not do so, would be a sin of ommission. And who in society suffers the most from the immoral action/beliefs of adults? The children! The saying goes:

Evil flourishes when good people do nothing.
And yet Fundamentalist Christians do nothing about the government allowing false religions to florish. Strange!
