I think you are very correct..everyone SHOULD be free to worship anyway they please. I think the problem a lot of people have with CERTAIN christians is that they dont want you to believe anyway but their way. Certain factions of Christianity are some of the most UN-christian-like people in the world.... They want to shove their beliefs down your throat. They cant stand that you aren't "saved". I appreciate their concern, but really, Im not interested. I am very happy with my beliefs and would not change mine any more than they will change theirs. I dont want to have to deal with their beliefs in a public place or my schools. I think religioin should be a personal, not a public thing.
Yes, but you'll also find members of EVERY religious group who want to shove their beliefs down your throat. I don't think fanatics represent the majority of any religious organization, and while for me, religion is a personal issue, I don't see the harm in someone putting up their religious text on a sign or statue in a peaceful manner as long as all religions are given equal chance to do so. If I want to read the text on said monuments, it's my choice. If I don't, that's my choice too.
