Why doesn't anybody realize this?
The default mode for this country should be a lack of religion, not Christianity. When people say that putting up the Ten Commandments at a courthouse is "freedom of religion", it's just like banning pork because it's against Judaism and Islam!

I disagree.

Freedom from religion means those who wish to be religious are not free to do so. Is this fair to them?

Freedom of religion is when people respect eachother enough to acknowledge and accept their differences, and still get along. You don't have to agree with someone to give them their space and their respect--and that is freedom of religion.

Hey Vampires, I've a plan if you are willing: [link] We'll take on all the ends of the world!

Allowing something is not the same as banning something. Freedom of religion does not mean FROM, and if you think so go visit some communist country where no religion is allowed and get out of this one.

I think you might be reading it wrong. The way I interpret it is:
Freedom of Religion = the ability to choose to worship whatever deities or religion that you want to.
Freedom from Religion = the ability to choose to not be religious at all.
So by having them both on the stamp you're saying that it doesn't matter whether you're a Chrisitan, a Buddhist, a Satanist, a Wiccan, or an Atheist. We're all the same really and we should just learn to accept everyone.
But I could be totally wrong and it could be like you said. lol

Ok, I see where your coming from. However, my point of view is that having freedom of religion also means that one is free to seek the conversion of others. Especially when it is an imperative of their religion. From that angle, acceptance of "unbelief" or "heathens" can be viewed as a failure to do as your religion dictates. Taken from my own angle at least, Christians are very different, or should be from any of the other religions you mention; Not that we are good examples (frequently we aren't). While asking for tolerance is something I can understand, acceptance is like giving up for evangelists. We, humans, may all be the same, but the driving forces behind a given religion (meaning the tenets and written rules) differ immensely. Although I would be the first to agree that what is often called religion can frequently be found to be very biased interpretation and application thereof. Still, thank you for clarifying what you perceive the meaning of this to be.
