Freedom of religion necessitates freedom from religion. If the state imposes religious faith, there can be no freedom.
Again you are absolutely wrong in your analysis. The imposition of faith is not the same as freedom from religion. The state must not establish a religion, but it must allow the free exercise thereof. The free exercise of religion allow it to be a civilizing influence on society and it's government.
You are operating under the misconception that government and religion must be separated.

I love how you say you don't want to impose your morals when it comes to abortion, but when it comes to guns you have no problem trying to impose your morals.
You don't personally oppose abortion, when you actively fight to allow it you don't oppose it.
[Begin bane quote] If someone has an abortion, it doesn't hurt me. When criminals have guns, it does. My car has the bullet holes to prove it.
Again you are dreadfully wrong.
Every abortion cheapens life. How can the thugs who allegedly shot your car value life if the country they live in doesn't.
That's the thing about libs. you don't see that actions have consequences.
You don't want your or anyone else's irresponsible actions to have any negative consequences.
You want to do whatever feels good, and have that be the end of it.
Even when someone sage in the ways of the world predicts the kinds of consequences that accompany certain actions, you pooh pooh them.
Then when said consequences become manifest you deny the relation to the act, or that anyone ever warned you about the linkage.
Just like owebumacare.
Many conservatives predicted all the horrendous results we are seeing now. But did libs listen ?
No way Jose.
