Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion

To clarify: Everyone has the right to follow a religion, contrarywise, non-religious folk have the right to not follow a religion or have religion thrusted upon them.

There is no such freedom "FROM" in the US Constitution. In order for those who are religious to have the freedom to practice it, then those who do not wish to believe or practice a religion are obligated to honor their right to do so.. Kinda like allowing people of different races to have their rights even if you are a prejudiced bigoted idiot. There is no right to restrict another citizen's rights unless they are breaking the law or harming others. If you are an atheist (most of whom I have met claim to be more scientific and educated), you then should be the most progressive and be tolerant of those you believe to be less informed than you. You do have the right of free speech and intelligent debate, so you to can express your beliefs (or disbelief's) and cannot be hindered when you peacefully disagree with the religious.

I agree. I think that freedom of religion gives you the option of what religion you want to be or not to have a religion at all

Well yeah. But you can't expect some one who believes that they hold the key to eternal life to ignore those they feel are in need of an eye opening concept.
And that is wordy... So here...
You can't have an idea thrust upon you and be forced to believe it. So it will always be your choice what to believe.

The only way you could have freedom from religion is to oppress everyone's right to free religious expression....and what kind of freedom of religion would that be??

What did you mean? Are you saying that you can make up your own decisions and creating your OWN religion? There is no freedom FROM religion if you are on one.
I wish to undertsand your question.

Religion takes Place in the Soul.
Reality takes Place in the Spiritman.
Anybody can come up with a religion.
You have to have your Spirit Recreated to Experience Reality.
Only One Way to get your Spirit Recreated---Jesus.
religion cannot Recreate you (a Spirit living in a Body)
All Religions are False.
(Love your Name)
