Really just want to focus on the religious portion here.
Contrary to what some (mostly those who dislike Christians) would like to believe the COTUS certainly does not promise to protect ANYONE from being exposed to ANY religion.
I really don't understand why so many think that is the case.
I agree. In fact, it explicitly telling us they cant stop us from exposing you to any religion.
Which means I have a right to go door to door sharing the Gospel. You have the right to shut the door in my face. But I do have the right to exercise my religion freely and share it with others.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
