To: Always Right
Many Libertarians seem to think that freedom to express religious views is coercion.

I respectfully disagree with this. This describes many left-wingers generally, because they're uncomfortable with religious messages. Libertarians you have freedom of speech and of worship. We do not believe you have the right to not be offended or the right to be free from the uncomfortable opinions of others. Don't like it, don't listen. The clause in the constitution that says "no establishment of religion" is a prohibition of state mandated religion. It does not mean the government should divorce all religion from government activity.

That's what I get for not paying attention. A double post with lots of typos. :P
