Ya know Rob, freedom of religion and freedom from religion are pretty much one and the same.
By way of the 1st amendment there can be no compulsory religious belief (or disbelief) ergo freedom from religion if one so chooses.
and Nick, ya know what?? You're forgetting the "Free exercise thereof" segment.
Other arguments aside for a moment, I would offer that if someone were exercising their "freedom of religion"...... that we are also blessed with "freedom of movement"......and if you disagree with that person, you are certainly free to remove yourself from the proximity of the "religion".........or do you liberals demand that religious people only practice their faith where you see fit for them to do so?

Exactly, Doc. I don't like Islam, but I won't get bent out of shape when they practice their religion wherever they want to. Where I DO get bent out of shape is when one religion is given preference over another, such as Islamic prayer rooms and foot baths in the airports, whereas other religions are not given a damned thing. After all, equal protection under the law and equal rights for all.
