What of Religion?

Freedom of religion means freedom of religion for everyone -- for every man, woman and child.  Everyone.

Religious groups and leaders don't really want freedom of religion.

They certainly don't want freedom of religion for their community members, especially the women and children.

They don't want their community members to have access to real choices about their lives.

It's not freedom of religion, but only for some people.  It's not freedom of religion, but only for men.  It's not freedom of religion, but only for adults.  It's not freedom of religion, but only for people born into freethinking or liberal families and communities.

Freedom of religion means freedom of religion for everyone or the expression and the constitutional provision is meaningless.
