as for "religious freedom" well, well... if the churches (all of them) promise to behave and never preach upon those who do not request to be preached on... or attempt that unwilling listeners sit in public places (such as public schools)... So if they keep their filthy evil perversions behind closed doors you might tolerate their existance?? Is that how you look at it? They have as much right to speak in public spaces as anyone else otherwise you are infringing on both their freedom of religion and freedom of speach. However they would then also face restrictions against disturbing the peace. IMO opinion preaching should have the same free speech rights as any other speech, but it shouldn't be given special status in a pluralistic democracy. Tim
