"And America was born, in part, to religious freedom...Even [for?] Islam, which I consider intolerant and violent."

HUH?? Ooo-Kay...

Islam, Wicca, and even Secularism Humanism for that matter, operate and worship under the good graces and tolerance of a Christian taught and inspired "tolerance" whether you and others concede this point or not...

Sorry to disappoint, but if you read the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson makes the point that the country was born to satisfy any manner of Deism, or even a complete absence of Deistic belief.

Maybe you don't like it. Maybe I don't. Tough. It's (partly) why the country was created.

Nonsense. Christians began to be tolerant because the political results of sectarian warfare stripped from them the power to persecute. There is no credit in do good because you lack the power to do evil.
