The right to freely worship your god should be fiercely protected. However, the ''hocus pocus'' which surrounds most religions shouldn't be allowed to contravene any of the laws of the land, be they Christian mumbo jumbo ( which also calls for the '' putting to death''of homosexuals, Leviticus 18 & 20)) or the gobbledygook of Islam. Such laws include, equality in the work place and in the wider society and exist in order to advance equality and fairness for all. Side: Uphold freedom of religion
I have little use for religion, personally, but I will stand up for the rights of those who want and need it. As long as a religion stays within the Constitution I have respect for their right to exist. I expect the dwindling membership to continue, and, by the next century I think knowledge will overcome mythology.... peacefully ... if we SURVIVE the religions of today. I think humanity is at a crossroad, we have the scientific knowledge to destroy ourselves in about an hour, we have the religious hatred to cause us to do it, and then we have the NON-religious with the power to do the same. Good luck, my friends! (And you others, also.). We mostly need to come to our senses, religious or not. NO "god" will save us, only WE can do that. Side: Uphold freedom of religion
