Honest question here, I promise. I do not mean this as a “gotcha” or argumentative in any way.  I’m just seeking to learn more.
You stated here that basic human rights are being denied to whole groups of people. I assume you are referring to LGBTQ based on the thread. Re-reading through the comments, it seems like the issue being debated is whether or not this is considered a “sin”. For those with a traditional, biblical belief system, I think the answer is yes. So the basic human right being denied is - whether or not someone thinks someone else is going to heaven (or hell)? I’m genuinely confused. It seems as though the demand here is for people to alter their personal beliefs to assure someone else is “ok”. It seems strange. I consider myself a “sinner”. Whether or not you believe I am going to heaven (or hell) is of no consequence to me. [/quote]

No offense taken to the question! The basic human rights I’m referring to are marriage, adoption, affirming health care for trans people, etc. These things are under very real attack at both the state and national level right now.

While I think the non-affirming position is incorrect theologically and harmful to the church, I don’t mean to equate that with human rights. The problem is that the lack of separation between church and state allows the former to influence the latter.[/quote]
