It is significant to me that the Christians from America seem to feel they have the right, even obligation to demand that everyone believe as they do. I don't know if Canada has a similar law, and I do not know about the UK.
The First Amendment to the Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Having come FROM a very conservative Christianity, I can attest that the mind set in some sects is that everyone should follow them. And, in certain places, Islam is the same way.
That is why I published the "Jesus Is Not God" thread. I wanted to expose the closed mindedness, and assert that in some cases, it is a violation of the laws of this nation.
