      It would solve a lot of problems though.

      How about this, freedom to practice your religion, but only in private places. Like a “Don’t Say Doctrine” law

        It’s really tempting to agree to ban public displays and mention of homosexuality if we can also do so for all religion. It’s a one step backwards, two miles forward situation…

        I mean that’s what France was going for when they banned burqas, the idea was that people are free to express their religion privately but not in public. I personally think if you’re going to take people’s rights to wear a certain piece of fabric in a certain way away like that, the ends definitely don’t justify the means.

      Freedom of thought is the one thing they should never take away from you. Let us be clear, that freedom of thought is not freedom to hate. But at the same time it is a shield from hate.

      I kind of always thought that’s why the first amendment said there should be no national religion
