Clearly there was no promise of Freedom from Religion.
The Constitution says that Government shall not interfere with Religion.
BUT... The are no provisions to prevent Religion from influencing Government.
No one should tell religion how to live their life... That's guaranteed.
No one should tell religion how to live their life... That's guaranteed.
So why do we accept religion telling... dictating to others how to live their lives?
Were we all under the impression that of all the teachings of religion that should live and let live apply both ways? Clearly this is a misconception. Religions have always... ALWAYS... not only told it's followers how to live, but always seeked to tell others how to live. Forcing their beliefs in any means possible upon every one. Killing millions in the past if they did not conform to their beliefs... Today, influencing government to enact laws to forward and force their beliefs on every one.
No wonder so many people resent religion.
Today's issue... abortion.
