What do you feel when your freedom of religion were arranged by another people???

All religion is arranged in some shape, form, or fashion by outside factors. I don't believe you are born with any knowledge of religion...you obtain it through factors such as the religion of your family, friends, culture, etc. Whatever your religion, you should not be afraid to express your beliefs anywhere. If you think the Easter bunny is God then, so be it. It is not my personal belief but it could be someone else's. If I don't think you are right in your belief I can explain mine to you but I cannot make you believe what I believe. That is pure conviction that must come from you. BTW, I am a Christian and believe that Jesus is the only way to get to God. I don't think I should have to go to any middle man, i.e. a priest or the Pope, or Buddha, or Allah....but that is only MY personal belief system. Who am I to say anyone else's religion is less important to them than mine is to me. It all boils down to, "Judge not, lest Ye be judged."

What a lot of religions don't realize is that separation of church and state helps them. In the US, if there wasn't a definite separation of church and state, we would all have to be members of the church of England.

The reason that religions flourish in the US is the fact that government (for the most part) keeps out of the church business and just concentrates on state business. There are those who wish to entangle government with church much more than it is now. They wish to officially make their brand of Christianity the state religion, if not in title, at least implicitly.

That's why they push so hard for crosses to be slapped up everywhere on government buildings and monuments. That's why they pushed to change the Pledge to add "Under God" into it and pushed to change our national motto to "In God We Trust". That's why they are pushing to redirect our tax dollars to funding proselytizing through the "Faith-based Initiative" and vouchers for religious schools. They are pushing back on American progress by pushing their "Intelligent Design" nonsense on kids and fighting stem cell research.

Sorry, but this country is made up of a wide variety of people, not just right wing Christian zealots. We all deserve to have equal representation and equal participation in government. "In God We Trust" does not represent me. It doesn't represent at least 14% of the American public (according to the ARIS survey).

Separation of Church and State has already turned into militant anti-Christianity. That impedes my freedom of religion regularly.

First of all you have like 457 question marks and secondly, I have no idea what the hay you are talking about! Oh! The pain, the agonizing pain of trying to disect and discern ridiculous questions.

I think you mean, "How would you feel .. ". Eitherway, I would not like it, nor would I tolerate it. If I was in such a circumstance I would do what I could to leave that circumstance. If your house catches on fire, you dont stay in side, but find a way to leave.

Do you live in the US...because freedom of religion is a choice...that's in our amendments

Thank God I don't have that problem!

But I wouldn't choose religion over my life, I'd choose God over my life , OR career.

If your religion was arrainged by another person then you're not free. I couldn't tell you how it feels. I don't live under that kind of oppression

If it is arranged by someone else, it is not freedom.

are you having a nightmare, or do you live in some dictatorship?
