Religious freedom opens a door for Americans that is closed to too many others around the world. But whether we walk through that door, and what we do with our lives after we do, is up to us.

It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.

Religious freedom is already protected in the United States. It's in our Constitution. It's in most state constitutions.

I believe in the freedom of expression, unequivocally - though, as I have written before, I wish more people would understand that freedom of expression is not freedom from consequence.

I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.

Religious freedom, often referred to as the first freedom, is of central import to the American experiment. As such it should feature prominently in U.S. foreign policy.

The freedom of thought and expression is one of the most sacred rights in this country.

I feel like freedom of speech is one of the great things in this country and the freedom to do what you feel is right.

I live in America. I have the right to write whatever I want. And it's equaled by another right just as powerful: the right not to read it. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people.

The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship.
