You can worship something without it being a religion. For example Obuma worships Govt, and unions. The left hates religion because when people worship God they don’t worship the State.

He’s changing it because there are a few he’d like to eliminate. We’ll be able to worship,just not the religion we choose.

This is a major change of meaning.

In my own mind....Freedom of worship implies "congregation or group".

Freedom of Religion is one on one.

The Bill of Rights are INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.....not group rights.

“freedom of worship” implies something overseas dictators view as controllable, manageable - the right to gather, pray, sing. “Freedom of religion” encompasses much more - the freedom to publicly display, advocate for, protest, and most notably: proselytize. This is the most controversial subject as the United States is still seen by some overseas as trying to foist Christianity and Judeo-Christian culture. Many advocates believe the right to evangelize freely is a basic part of their faith. Michele Boorstein, february 2010 internet

You are all missing the point.

Religion is organized, as in Catholic, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Mormon, Judaism, Islam, Confucism, Taoism, et al.

Worship is what you do towards your favorite deity.

Religion is organized, structured, has literature stating beliefs, has leaders to turn to for one thing or another, has places of assembly. By doing away with religion, the Almighty ‘0’ can take your scriptures, tithes, offerings, scriptures, church buildings and holdings, leaders, scriptures, even your god!!! and tell you to whom you will worship.

This is not new. Consider homosexuality. By redefining a person's sexual identity from the biological to whatever you want it to be, homosexuality becomes okay and acceptable since we can be taught that a person's sexuality can be redefined to whatever we want.

They are trying to do the same thing with marriage by changing the definition of marriage to simply being an expression of love and commitment.

This could be one of the ways the communists got their people to accept the state control of religion. After all, once worship equals religion, then they can make the argument that they have not taken away our rights once they have done so.

INDEED.

If you have not read the quotes of our leaders over the last 110 years, then you are missing some solid proof of their goals, strategies and hatred of Christianity:

Perhaps it has something to do with Obama’s true religion, Islam?

Why? Because freedom of religion is incompatible with a Turkish-style secularist wall of separation between church (or more generally religion) and state, moveable at will by the state until the only freedom is that of private worship and privately held belief: religion completely driven from the public square, no exceptions from laws based on freedom of conscience, parade permits required for processions around the outside of churches, zoning laws applied to Bible studies (which aren’t worship), etc.

Almost every day for over a year FR threads have been the slates for numerous comments and speculation on who it is that's REALLY controlling Obama and pulling his strings.

Probably most folks think it's George Soros or perhaps some international cabal of godless, one-world, elite nabobs.

Probably none of the above.

Are there any knowledgeable people of faith who have ANY doubt as to who is the ACTUAL evil, crafty puppet master of Barack Hussein Obama?
