What do you think? Should we be free enough to decide as individuals? This is the debate here. The formation of the United States came near the end of the 1700's A.D. and they wanted more religious and individual freedoms because they felt they were not getting enough liberties and rights and choices from King George in England. The American birth year is 1776 and a book with contrast to that is a book named 1984 which is also the year before my birth in 1985. Is religion good or bad? Is secularism more dangerous or what?

America was founded for the free exercise of religion. Group after group came to America to flee persecution in Europe. That's one reason why religious freedom is part of the first amendment, even if the Supreme Court no longer understands what "shall not be infringed" means.

To answer another point, I don't care if you're religious or not. You're free to be unreligious. I just don't want your secularism infringing on my religious freedom. Which includes not making wedding cakes for homosexual weddings or renting homes to couples who are living together and not married.

Agreed. I believe everything is religion because religion means what we believe and what we do. I take a more generic definition, as a more broader definition. As long as you do not kill me, it might be ok. As long as I'm not forced to pay for the abortions women get or for illegal aliens.
