The thing I seem to be hearing as an undercurrent or an assumption this election year is that "freedom of religion" to some people means freedom to be any kind of Christian that you want. These people seem to be confused why anybody would want to be anything else. Why would someone be an atheist? Or Buddhist? They just don't get it, and that part is ok.
Where I start to have issues is that they don't want those "inconcievable" options to be options for other people. Protesting the building of mosques, trying to pass laws based in religious ideals, trying to get creationism taught in schools... those are things I have issue with.
