More proof - it's not freedom of religion, but freedom from religion that the Left wants.

And what's wrong with that? I have my religion, I do not want, nor should I endure someone forcing theirs upon me. If I were Atheist, I would be just as upset of someone shoving a bible down my throat, as you would be if you were required to denounce your God. For example, would you be offended if you were required to vote at a Satanic cathedral?

Your use of the terminology being "forced" into a religion, having a Bible "shoved" down one's throat, is obviously figurative language, to describe efforts of some at persuading you. By your take: the democrats have been forcing me to be a democrat all these years--constantly hammering me with their unwanted propaganda. The athiests at my public university were shoving anti-religious pap down my throat at every opportunity. Coercion pure and simple. It must be stoppped! --- The only word for such nonsense is nonsense. Free speech is not the equivalent of coercing anybody to do anything. Of course, for several years now free speech has only been deemed legitimage for the left, for liberals, and for anti-religion. I hardly expected to read such imbecility on Free Republic.
