Do We Really Have Religious Freedom?

Defining religious freedom [pullquote width="300" float="right"]Sometimes, we forget that just because you acknowledge someone’s belief, does not mean you are endorsing it or accepting it as your own. [/pullquote]

“Believe what you will, but don’t force your religion/beliefs/opinions on anyone else,” seems to have become the modern definition for religious freedom. You can do whatever you want in the privacy of your home and church, but if your beliefs seep into other aspects of your life, things get complicated.

A teacher can dress up as a witch on Halloween at school, but she can’t sing Christmas carols. She can assign an R-rated novel, but not pray in the classroom.
