Freedom of religion means you have the choice to accept or reject the TRUTH which is JESUS CHRIST.
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

Freedom of religion must include freedom from religion. No one has the right to impose their beliefs or morality on another.

No, that would stem from the freedom of speech, combined with the fact we live in a constitutional Democracy. Freedom includes the idiots, I'm sorry to say. Consider, England has a Ministry of Sport.

I don't know what you mean by "impose your morality on others". Government impose morality whenever they keep people from stealing or murdering. So you need to clarify what you mean.
I will say that because of our (fallen) nature, nations of the world do not want Christ and His laws. This is made clear from Psalm 2:2-3
"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed (Christ), saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."
However that is not how it ought to be. God places His moral obligations upon individuals, families, and nations. Like it or not, there is no one that is outside of God's authority. The laws of the nation (thou shalt not steal, murder, etc..) are obligated to be built upon the laws of God. Psalm 2:10-12 states;
"Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."
For Christ's Crown and Covenant!

Nope. You have to follow the laws of humanity and society. Religion is for at home. There is REASON Freedom of Religion is in the FIRST amendment.

No...that's freedom of speech.
edit. That's not to say that I approve of the imposing...or disapprove of freedom of speech.

It has the right not to change the morality laws of our founding fathers....

No - it is only for your freedom to practice your religion. Applies to everyone.

Absolutely not. I have zero tolerance for this, in fact. I just like debating it, not imposing it.

Absolutely not! That's why all these 'Defense of Marriage' amendments are so abhorrent to me. I'm not gay, but why do these people think they have a right to bar these loving couples from getting married? Why can't I buy alcohol on a Sunday? Why can't I buy a car on Sunday? The list goes on and on. And on. And on.
