I thought it an accurate statement of the practical effect of having freedom of religion.

Do you find that assesment to be inaccurate?

If it is accurate, then do you disagree with the idea that we should have it, because it allows people to have incorrect religious beliefs?

Freedom of Religion is more about freedom than Religion.

The practical effect was to establish a Country that was not “told” by their Gov’t what religion they must practice.

That is it.

Individuals are to be free to practice whatever religion they wish.

It made no statement about which region is correct, and yes, some folks will and do have “incorrect” religions.

I’m willing in a free society to explore, as I have, the merits associated with those positions.

It doesn’t in anyway mean that they are correct, just because they exist.

We are back to relativism.
