[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]christianity is the third biggest threat to this country after climate change and republicans. I find them particularly reprehensible and disgusting. [/quote]

Anyone trying to force their religious beliefs on me and my family - and my country - is a vile POS.

What are you talking about?
You have freedom of religion. You are not oppressed
Mormons and JW's have a right to recruit new members, as do country clubs and gyms

Sure.. they just don't have a right to form a government that would govern us all - those who don't belong and don't want to belong to their religion.  There is this pesky thing: separation of church and state.  When government starts enforcing the laws of some specific religion.. what happens to all other citizens who aren't its loyal followers? They lose their freedoms. [/quote]
What you are referring to is off topic
Nobody is banning or restricting your freedom to practice your religion
[b]A law about abortion has nothing to do with religios freedoms[/b]. 
Perhaps what you are referring to is the influence of religion in today's American politics. That is very different from having a kaxk of religious freedom.

Religious freedom was curbed in Soviet union. People had to congregate in secret, people were imprisoned for being Sunday school teachers. Secret police tried to crack down on babtisms, you lost your job if it was found out you believed in God

It has to do with the freedom of deeply held beliefs.  If my deeply held belief is that life begins at a time we have technology to incubate the baby and safely extract the baby, then I don't believe that younger fetus has personhood and therefore doesn't enjoy the same protection of the law as a human being already born.  This is about law of when someone is protected legally, but this is also about beliefs, because objective reality doesn't hold true that every conception results in birth or every fetus getting a heartbeat becomes a human being born into this world.
