The dominant religion now in Colorado Springs is Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian. To go through all the beliefs would take too much time but an example I got involved with was the exclusion of the teaching of evolution in the public high school where my daughter attended. Evangelicals believe, as fact, that the earth is approximately 5000 years old (I forget the exact number) so therefore any teaching of science before that time is blasphemy. After going to the department chair, the principal, and finally the superintendent we got it reinstated but not in time for my daughter to receive it.
Amendment 2 was a state proposition that became law that made discrimination legal against ######, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals, specifically in the area of housing and employment but bascially any area of law. The law passed in '92 and was struck down by the US Supreme Court in '95 or '96.
