freedom of religion doesn't mean a state run religion. It means you can worship rocks if you want to.

I fully agree. But that's freedom of religion, a close but separate issue. My question was about freedom from religion.

You stated there is no freedom from religion. In that case, it would seem that the government wouldn't be violating your rights if it imposed religion on you.

No offense, but that is some convoluted logic. You understand that the only thing the much misquoted Amendment I refers to is; Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

So there is no chance or reason to ever fear that happening, if you were serious.

The Government shall not impose a religion, but it cannot impose no religion either! The is the opposite, there isn't a "freedom" FROM religion, meaning it isn't the governments job to stop religeous activities either. People are litigating because they get offended (boo-hoo, I guess they never picked on anyone as a kid, or they were the ones being picked on.) there is the PERSUIT of happiness, you aren't gauranteed happiness!
