@LiquidSmooth Sorry if this comment is outdated, but the drafters of the constitution were mostly deist and make no mention of god in the constitution. Deists deny the divinity and miracles of Jesus suggested in the bible.

Hmmm... I wonder if this whole speech was in light if the Mormon church's direct involvement with proposition 8? Should a religion have the right to fund a political cause with their tax-free money? Interesting point to think about.

And that is the stuggle. To practice our faith as best as we can without forcing it on others. As a muslim living in America there is no Sharia law, but I still have the freedom to pursue my faith and live within my religious obligations. I believe freedom of religion works but it has to be a collaborative effort and a constant effort as well.

Protestants believe God is not a rapist, so to put a gun to your head and force you to worship God would go against what most of us believe.
But we do believe we have God given rights to life, liberty, and property, and that these rights, found in the 10 commandments, are rights given by God to all human beings, whether they acknowledge Him or not.
USA was founded, mainly by Protestants. All the basis for constitutional rights come from their bible.
This is why the Vatican has hated us

That is currently what is promoted in this country. But it is incorrect.
Cause what if someone was a satanist. And wanted to sacrifice animals and people (even willing people).
Under protestant beliefs, you still have freedom to practice faith according to conscience, but there are limitations. While a protestant would never try to force you to believe, like a Catholic would, we still believe that God established rights and liberties, like "thou shall not steal".

Dont misunderstand me, I am a devout muslim and have a deep faith in God. However, I was always raised that Freedom of religion means to be free to practice your faith AND being free from having another's faith imposed on another AND freedom from persecution for having a different faith. That is my definition. Would agree?
-
Again, read my previous comments. To have absolute rights, one must acknowledge who God is. If you say no one can know for sure who God is, then in essence you say one cannot know their true rights.
ANd if you say "Evolution created all this by accident" then there are no rights, because evolution is a mindless process that had no design in mind, therefore there is no wrong or right way. If it had a design in mind, then you could determine if things worked towards or against it.
-
Ahh, but as we have expanded on the idea of " all men were created equal" we can do so with Freedom of Religion. Dont forget that the country founded by Christians but built on the backs of Muslims, Wiccans, and other indigenous believers.

Freedom of Religion is a lie.
In the business world If I asked for every sabbath day off from work I would just be replaced with someone willing to be more cooperative to the needs of the business.
There is no laws put in place to protect religious beliefs in the job world otherwise their would be lawsuits on a daily basis.
-
Something that is created from the result of an ACCIDENT, as in evolution, no one can say if it is working right or wrong, because the thing which created it in the first place, no no foresight in mind behind its creation.
Evolution believes we came from a mindless universe by random chance (an accident). So therefore you cannot declare a right or wrong, it is all opinion.
No one should be persecuted for their religious beliefs.
A man like this in the whitehouse would protect everyones right to worship or not to worship as they choose.
