Religious Freedom is the freedom to practice one's beliefs without persecution, but it also means that people have the right to be religion-free, also.
The only times I have problems with religion is when it, ot the reps from some ideology try to force me to fit their ideal of behaviour.
As example...
I've torqued off more than a few fundamentalists (muslims, christians, Jewish) by stating that Husband is the focus of my love, devotion, faith, trust, and respect instead of whatever god is being discussed.
I have every right to place the Man I love, the Man who gave me a very good life, happiness and a bright future with love and care ahead of some do-nothing deity that other people claim is behind all the good things in life and must be elevated above him.
People can disagree all they want with my views, and some have said some very atrocious things to me about it.
But, that is my right, and it stands alongside the religious freedoms of all others also.
As for those ideologies who insist on attempting to force me to comply to their doctrine...
In any case, I'm always looking for believers to use what they suppose god gave them and apply reason to support the positions of their religion/philosophy.
hmm we have no religious freedom or rights? I just checked I still do so whats up with that lol?
now of course I know of the harassment stuff which makes it seem like people dont have religious freedom or rights that people do but people will always be like that so you have to try and keep in your mind thats its just their opinion which can be very very hard to do
.... And oppress everyone else. That's nice. I guess I should move somewhere else and practice my beliefs. Ugh. I could've sworn I had freedom of religion.
Yeah ... Liberal fascism is on the increase for sure.
However, it's encouraging to see since the insertion of Obama into the scene, a huge slice of middle America is coming to realize how the planned and structured take-down of Christianty has been played in this country. Like all cockroaches, modern Marxists despise having light shone on their activities for people to see their true intent.
As I see it, since Islamists have temporarily linked arms with Marxists, together they represent an enormous adversary. But ... the spirit that gave us the vision and means to create this amazing nation has already been demonstrated to be a force unstoppable when it's generated by a faithful and true people.
The majority no longer seems to be the thinking process we always cator to the few who dissagree and then say NO Christmas trees allowed, No mention of God, No mention or Pledge of allegiance in schools which used to begin our day with our hand over our hearts. No displays of American loyalty allowed because one person might be offended and forget the rest who are proud. Those days are long gone and it is very sad when we have caved into that once proud thinking that kept the core of the nation intact
Are you against christianaity? I am not sure I got the entire jist of this then. I respect all cultures and religions but not sure they all belong in the same pot
I'm not speaking against it exactly but apparently I'm not allowed to practice my religion here without constant harassment and disrespect. Like my last insult of sacrificing blonde virgins........
I side with George Carlin. He really said/thought deeply than most others will ever strive to be. Also, I think. You got a problem with that? Cuff me if you differ.
You keep living that lie. Try being a Satanist then tell me about discrimination. You know nothing about it, we are most religiously oppressed here next or equal to Muslims. Christians have it easy here, if you haven't noticed, most of America is Christian. You know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT DISCRIMINATION.
Go away satanist scum. And since you satanists are bad people (especially the theistic ones) you deserve to be discriminated against. Also the moderate muslims get discriminated against and radical muslims discriminate against others, including moderate muslims.

That is a very stupid thing to try to do.
