Why is it 1/3 of the cost to buy a bible in a Pennsylvania prison then a Quran?
I am of neither religion but that is clearly discrimination in favor of Christian inmates

Why Christian nationalists want a theocracy
The Christian right-wing (who DO NOT represent all Christians) only care about the separation of church and state whenever they believe that Muslims or some other religious group that they hate are being favored by the government and then they are the BIGGEST supporters in the country.
They then make atheists look like Pat Robertson in comparison. So they are perfectly fine in supporting church/state separation when it suits them.
But most of the time they want the government to promote and push THEIR religious beliefs. They want forced prayer in public schools to convert non Christian fundamentalists as which happened 60 years ago.
Children can pray now but no, they need to convert the children of non Christian fundamentalists including moderate Christians.
They want military chaplains to use their officer rank to pressure soldiers to become Christian fundamentalists. Frankly they are not above using the government to further their theocratic beliefs.
They want to ban gays form marrying, because of the Bible and just before that they even wanted to jail gay men for sex with other gay men.
They are our version of the Islamic theocrats in Iran, but fortunately, they do not have complete control, at least for now.
When Scalia was OK with the targeting of gay men by the government
This is the Lawrence v. Texas case decided by the Supreme Court in 2003 which overturned laws that targeted gay men for anal/oral sex but not heterosexual men or women, a violation of equal protection on its’ face.
Scalia’s words: “State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity ... every single one of these laws is called into question by today's decision.”
When Scalia stated this, this wasn’t some “originalist” opinion on what the law and Constitution are but a person who sincerely believed that the government should be locking up gay men for their sex lives, unlike Clarence Thomas who dissented in upholding the law but said he would, if he was a lawmaker, vote to overturn it.
Scalia was pretty good on the 4th Amendment but he was a theocrat, at least to some extent and he wanted the government to regulate the sex lives of Americans, including masturbation.
He said how could bans on beastiality be justified but molesting a dog or cat is not the same at all of consenting adults having sex with other consenting adults.
There should not be laws on adultery, that is between the spouses. If they want to pursue a divorce, fine but I don’t think a person should be imprisoned for sex with another consenting adult, even if adultery. I don’t think Trump should have been imprisoned at least three times for adultery,either.
The only laws on obscenity should be child obscenity. And yes legalize prostitution, and regulate it. So Scalia was wrong on pretty much all accounts, except for sex with animals.
And seriously, laws against masturbation, do we want to lock up every teen boy and pretty much ever adult man and well, women too. Do we want to lock up 99% of the population?
