Does freedom of religion mean freedom from religion? Why or why not?

of course it does...but it also means my freedom from atheism.

Silent prayer has been upheld. A national day of prayer has been upheld. No attendance is mandatory. The religious display on public property seems to involve equal time as it is interpreted now. I guess no creche is allowed, so a pagan tree is the stand-in for Christians at Christmas.

Freedom of religion seems to be more about freedom from religion these days. I don't feel terribly free to voice my opinions about Islam. Particularly after this week.

Freedom of religion means that the government cannot force you to support an officially established church--such as the Church of England in the colonial days.

It means you are not to be coerced into conformity with any religion. It does NOT mean that you can shut down any public display of faith nor interfere with the freedom of others to express their faith, either publicly or privately.

Does freedom of speech mean freedom from speech? It sounds sort of silly when stated that way doesn't it?

Further, you need to look at the balance of the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF"

It's impossible to maintain that you have a freedom from religion whilst guaranteeing my right to freely practice it.

No, there is not a single word in the constitution that makes any mention of "Separation of Church and State." That is the construct of a single judge and millions of indoctrinated leftists.

The constitution is expressibly specific in protecting Religion from the State, not the State from Religion.

Kind of scary, but true.

It means that no religion can have authority in the government, and so long as the religion follows all laws, the government cannot interfere in that religion in any way at all and cannot define, dictate, or promote anything regarding religion or religious activities/institutions.

Freedom of religion in Constitution is one thing but question is:Can those religions coexist happily in one place? Constitution was intended to make everyone equal,which is a good thing but only in theory.Every religion will want dominance after awhile and it can lead to clashes between different religions who fight for power.

No Sweetheart, it means we are free to practice our religion. Even though the communists in Hollywood and other Union communist sponsors like the NEA Educational system keep trying to convince us to give it up, make anti God movies and tell us lies about evolution.

Yes.

Freedom of religion can also mean the freedom to choose not to have a religion at all.

As an agnostic I believe so, I don't care to be a part of the belief system, whether it's theism or atheism.

Freedom to practice or not

Reason is self explanatory.
