RELIGION: The answer is simple

| August 10, 2012 9:00 PM

With great interest, I have been watching the recent controversy on these pages over “Atheist Billboards.” Since I am a rather simple soul, I am well qualified to comment on this rather simple matter.

Regarding religious freedom, our U.S. Constitution guarantees “no laws prohibiting free exercise thereof.”

Simple! Cut and dried! This guarantees our right to display a Creech, a menorah, the Ten Commandments, and yes, a billboard promoting atheism. We Christians and Jews have no choice but to accept such displays regardless of how many find them offensive.

But let’s all take notice that we are guaranteed FREEDOM OF RELIGION. Nowhere does our Constitution guarantee FREEDOM FROM RELIGION!
