Like it or not, this country was built on a faith in the
Almighty God. The Constitution declares freedom OF
religion, not freedom FROM religion.
You don't like it here? Tell you where you can go.
I disagree. The Constitution gives you the right to worship as you see fit as well as giving me the right to not worship as I see fit.
History teaches us that mixing religion and politics almost always ends with the majority taking rights from the minority. It was true when European states declared themselves either Protestant or Catholic and persecuted whomever was on the wrong side, it was true when the Muslim Caliphs forced non-Muslims to pay a special tax, and it was true when George H. W. Bush told me that I wasn't an American.
Since the Constitution exists (in part) to protect the rights of the minority against the majority, how can you claim to be on the side of the Constitution while simultaneously claiming that my rights, being part of a minority, are not equal to your rights as part of the majority?
