Free doesn't mean exempt. As to the exercise of it, it ends where the right not to begins.Why should churches be treated any differently than any other business?Churches should not have tax exemptions.
Why not? I thought government and churches are separate?
Because congress cannot interfere with the free exercise of religion, the part of the amendment you keep forgetting about, while you expand the establishment clause to attack religion instead of protect it.
No it doesn't, freedom of religion does NOT mean freedom from it, i.e. that it is not allowed in public. Just because seeing religious stuff gives you the vapors, like some ditzy southern belle, doesn't mean we have to hide it from your view.
Grow a fucking pair.
