We are free to believe in Jesus , however in America we are not free to erect a cross on public property and say a prayer before a school football game. There are restrictions on our religious practices. The freedom of religion in America is extended to beliefs – not to expression.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

You would be wrong.

As I noted our religious freedoms are restricted by the courts. Can you erect a cross on government ground? Can you lead a prayer in public school? The first amendment gives unlimited freedom - however the courts restricted it to beliefs, not practices.
