The minute someone decides that the freedom to have their own religious beliefs must extend into them receiving special rules or exemptions, they have lost me for good.

Pray to whatever you want in your home or at your church or even at voluntary assemblies on public land, but the seone you start applying your beliefs onto others, the party is over and you have no greater right to your religion than I have to theat right to be free FROM it.
