It isn't your beliefs alone that are threatening (if they are). It is the fact that many who share the same beliefs are trying to force those beliefs on society. It's no different than what the amoral left accuses the religious right of doing-forcing their beliefs on society. The only reason religion comes into the discussion is because by labelling the beliefs of the right as having a religious basis, the amoral left tries to marginalize those beliefs as not having merit or a logical basis. They fail to see that many of the religious right's beliefs could be arrived at through logic and truly come from someone's personal belief as to what is best for society.

I have some malice towards the current administration, but that is direct and about specific positions held by specific people. I have no malice towards blocks of people. I sure see malice in the quotes in the original thread.

Would you have malice toward people who share the same beliefs of the current administration, or people who support that administration? If so, that's no different than the quotes in the article. Both are cases of holding malice against people who have differing viewpoints.

Can someone help me understand how I'm a threat because of my beliefs?

You can be a threat due to you beliefs in the same way that the amoral left feels that the religious right can be a threat because of their beliefs.
