It is. The religious "right" has been trying to force compulsory christianity on us for several hundred years but has not yet succeeded. Most Americans are christians but the majority oppose making it compulsory. The Supreme Court has ruled that "freedom of religion" includes and requires "freedom from religion" and no effort has been made (because it would fail) to amend the Constitution to change this. Richard Owlett writes: > We on the right assert "freedom OF religion" Freedom of which religion? Who is going to create the list of recognized religions so that we will know what we are required to pretend to believe? And how can we have freedom of speech if we are not permitted to deny religion? -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
