“ Freedom of religion means
" Oh, I'm sorry, I can't do that because of my religion "
It does not mean " Oh, I'm Sorry, you can't do that because of my religion " “

Probably the most sensible statement I’ve heard from an American for many years.

[megazenn]

Freedom of religion included freedom from religion

You can deal with anything .. but you cannot deal with madness.. and America is full of lunatics that place is doomed

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

And she hits the nail on the head! Believe what u want to believe, just don't enforce those beliefs onto other people, especially if its a decision that doesn't concern u.

‘American Journalist’ is Anna Kasparian. She works on a number of US progressive media outlets, most notably ‘The Young Turks’. She’s left of the US centre, politically, so a Social Democrat in European terms.

Preach !
I’m a Jew I’m tired of Christians saying I’m going to hell !
You won’t burn in hell but be nice anyway !

Seperation of church and state, you might of heard of it…

We need to hear this message being repeated across the world with regard to every single religion.

We support your right to believe so you should support our right not to believe.

History has not looked kindly on those who say "This group of people gets no rights because they aren't human."

💯religion should be separate from state go girl about time 👍👊

"The Bible says that is a sin, so I won't do that." (Religious Freedom)

"The Bible says that is a sin, so I won't let you do that." (Religious Oppression)

See the difference?

I'm on a diet, so you can't eat cake -- the ideology.

I’m with you. So sorry to the way things are going in the USA. Another nail in the coffin of human (women’s) rights in a country that screams about its being built on democracy.

But thats the point: *they don't care that you don't care. Its not about truth, its about power.* They will force it upon you because thats what all religions do. They're all so epistemologically insecure, that no religion will stop until everyone agrees/submits to it.

[peterwalker]

Well said. Those same people will argue about having Islam thrust upon them but see absolutely no parallels with themselves. That court ruling was a backwards leap for American women.

She couldn’t be more correct! I’m not religious, that doesn’t mean other people can’t follow a religion. I do not tell people how to be, people following a religion can’t tell me how to be.
