Republicans tend to favor "freedom OF religion." Democrats tend to favor "freedom FROM religion."

Dems seem to favor "freedom FROM religion" as you note. However, Reps are increasingly in favor of "freedom FOR religion". We do indeed need simply "freedom OF religion".

Injecting religious views into classrooms is going well beyond OF, in the direction of FOR.

Nonsense. Democrats favor religion being a private, individual matter which cannot legally receive tax payer's money. Republicans, if they support putting the Christian bible in the government court house, favor their religion over all the religions that don't get their "good book" in the court house.

You can be as religious as you want, just not in government building with government funds.
