I just think we should be grateful that we live in nations that allow us to believe what we want and that give us freedoms to start with. It's better to have very little freedom than none.
Does anyone agree with me on this or am I the only one?

As the saying goes, we don't appreciate what we've got until it's gone. And that's exactly the issue, Kim. Protecting the freedoms we all have now - for the future. There are some who seek to take our liberty away. Personally, I want freedom ~of~ and ~from~ religion. I want everyone to be free to follow their own spiritual path, but I don't want their beliefs forced upon me or mine.

A lawyer once told me, "A fair compromise is when both parties walk away from the negotiation table feeling like they've been screwed". If BOTH the atheists and the religionists are complaining, then it's a fair compromise, no? We need to pursue balance.
