Freedom of religion means that you do NOT attempt to force your religion on others through the law.
It means that you do NOT attempt to legislate other religions...be they Muslim, Mormon, Scientology or Christianity.
It means respecting the strength of our First Amendment and not being scared of "others."
Get it together and respect our Constitution.
That is all.

But many don't like that.
My experience has be quite the opposite when traveling.
What you say is interesting as I am Atheists.. and I have absolutely NO problem with Anyone practicing their religion in public.. even if it involves slicing up goats or worshiping devils, witches or antichrists... Frankly - I really, truly do not care the tiniest bit, what you believe religiously, other then I believe you are FREE to believe what ever you like, as long as it doesn't involve you shooting at me, or trying to set me on fire..
I personally know several Atheists, and none of the Atheists that I know have any problems with other people believing or practicing their relations.
You must live in a different area then I do, if you are having problems with atheists..... perhaps you should move here - much more religious friendly! : )
Side Note: I do have a problem with people torturing and killing others for the sake of, because or, or a commanded by, their religions. I will not tolerate that for a moment.
Lets be real though :: there are fanatics and zealots in every faction of life, including religion and lack thereof. And those people will always make the lives of everyone else miserable when ever they have a chance.
Too bad there is no way of know who is actually right - whil...

Too bad there is no way of know who is actually right - while we are still alive.
But I would be quite surprised to learn none of it is correct, and actually we are all ancestor of some ancient Alien Race that had pouted it's planet and seeded us here to terraform Earth, so they could return some day, once the planet it ready for them.
I think we need to define what we mean by tolerance in that context...I don't think that such activities should be allowed as, generally, they have nothing to do with the work being done, and tend to be disruptive to the work environment.
Of course, where religious activity is non-disruptive generally, it should be allowed.
Today the government would not kill you, you would merely be sued in the courts, lose your job. Anyone as insistent as the prophet would be forced to either change your ways or starve in the streets. Of course we have few today with the faithfulness of Daniel.
That's actually not the case at all, in most cases. Most employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for their employees religious practices.
THX for splaining.
Each to their own Way. For some, this means having no religion in their life at all, and for others, the exact opposite of that.
Each person must make their own decisions and choices, and THAT is what we respect above all else, the Innate Birthright of Self-Determination & Free Will.
NO one, NO gov't, NO organization has the 'right' or authority in dictating what a person choses to believe insofar as this topic goes, and that includes freedom of choice to have NO religious freedom whatsoever.
The muslims out there clamouring that 'all shall bow to islam'...those are criminals, in the same way that Hitler, Stalin, the KKK, Neo-Nazis and Organized Crime are.
And should be treated as such because they are a threat to ALL of us and our Birthright of Self-Determination.
Religion = stupid, intolerant, hateful, unreasonable, primitive, and false.
"You're implying that Satan has increased violence since God has been removed from schools."
What do you think a fox does when nobody's guarding the hen house?
It's too easy to dismiss them with a "no true scots man" fallacy, don't you think?
We can all argue that they distort the religion to fit their hate...but the same thing, of course, can be said for any religion.
How are they biased? And...is bias always wrong?
