I definitely agree with you, VedalkenBear. Religious freedom is something that we not only take for granted in this country, we often take advantage of it. Everyone should have the right to find their own way in life, whether it's through Judaism or it's offspring, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism-there are still a few out there-or anything else.
Personally, I'm more anti-religious than anything else, but that doesn't mean I hold the beliefs of others-anyone's beliefs-in contempt.
After all, it's a very mysterious universe and it's not a good idea to piss off gods, even gods you don't happen to worship, yourself.
