“From the clip it is clear that when he says “freedom from religion,” he is speaking of an individual’s right not to believe in God.”

An individuals right to not believe in God is protected by freedom OF religion. For many years defenders of religous liberty have labeled militant secularists who want all public displays of religion removed as being for freedom FROM religion.

Mike is showing is a gross ignorance of what freedom of religion is, and of the whole battle to protect it. Either that or he is trying to play both sides of the fence. I would not trust this guy to protect my rights or elevate him to a position where he had power to violate them.

Fraid I'd trust Mike more than any of the other candidates the system has tossed up this year.

Although the Baptists are totally wrong when they claim that the best course is no entanglement with government at all, they do have an idea what they're protecting.
