People who are homophobic and transphobic do not hesitate to say that their stance is what their god wants, as if they have a hotline to their deity who keeps them informed. Republican congressperson Greg Staube said on the floor of the House of Representatives that his god opposes transgender rights. Congressperson Al Green, who is Black and gay, had no hesitation about putting such people in their place during the debate on provide protections against discrimination to the LGBTQ community by pointing out how people had invoked their god in support of slavery and other abominations.
Thank you @RepAlGreen for always centering the people, seeking justice & above all, telling the whole truth. https://t.co/IKN9eENQ0r

Well said sir. But, no, they have no shame at all. They show that every time they open their mouths it seems.
Nicely said.
And, of course, atheist transphobes (mis)use science, and appeal to their stunted version of ‘reason’.
Christians love to point to past reforms and brag about how many of them were christian. And it is true, there are always christians amongst the reformers. But what they leave conveniently unsaid is that the biggest opponent to every reform has often been organised religion.
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable. -Salman Rushdie
