Oh they very much are. As long as it's christian.
You're also missing the forest through the trees.
This is the sort of thing someone says when they really don't know what to say but want to sound like they have Very Profound Thoughts.
Okay, since you need it spelled out... France may not have appropriately applied its freedom from religion, but that isn't the point. The point is a country like France doesn't just have freedom from a religious state, but also extends that further, and that's the part we (the US) are missing. You got hung up on the detail instead of paying attention to the meaning I was conveying, hence missing the forest through the trees. There is nothing profound about it at all, just saying you're looking far too deeply instead of looking at the bigger picture of what was said.
Ima thinking what we have here is a failure to communicate, not so much a failure to understand.
Then it sounds like they don't have freedom from religion or freedom of religion. So I still don't get what you think the issue is.
I don't have the patience to hold your hand and explain what an example is. Good luck with figuring things out in life.
As if a country not having FfR or FoR is a useful "example" here.
Good luck with figuring out things in life.
Good luck making coherent claims
It helps if you're my target audience. That's people who know what an example is.
No I think they made a really good point that you are ignoring because it doesn't suit your narrative.
When countries ban minority faiths they effectively reward the majority one.
You can have freedom from religion without abolishing religion.
That would be a good point of France wasn't just an example. I'm not saying to emulate them exactly.
How about people are allowed to believe what they want? You know fucking freedom
I don't disagree with that. Believe what you want. Freedom from religion wouldn't stop you from believing what you want. It stops you from pushing it onto others.
