Freedom of religion is a fundamental Constitutional principle. It's a founding principle of this country.

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

Freedom of religion is a principle that is central to our Nation's Declaration of Independence. Congress has taken this positive step to protect our freedom to express allegiance to America's flag and the ideals it represents.

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

As a preacher who has spent significant time in churches and houses of worship all across the country, I can tell you firsthand that religious liberty and freedom are principles that can never be infringed upon.

Responsibility and respect of others and their religious beliefs are also part of freedom.

Conversion and zealotry, just like revelation and apostasy, are flip sides of the same coin, the currency of a political culture having more in common with religion than rational discourse.

The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
