    The First Amendment to the US Constitution:

    “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech....”

    No religion is specifically protectable by law (in most modern democracies), only the equally free exercise of all beliefs is.

    Logic dictates that the freedom to believe any one religion is also the freedom to NOT believe in all others. This post was edited by Don Barzini at June 17, 2018 10:08 AM MDT
