Freedom of Religion? Yeah, right!

In a country that was founded on the Christian belief, more and more Christians are being discriminated against, mocked, and persecuted for their beliefs in God. How are we as a country supposed to have a claim to freedom of religion if our founding religion is one most people are ashamed of? Sure, you can read the Qur'an, Book of Mormon, and other religious books in school. But if one person picks up a Bible, they are called a "Bible Thumper." This is absolutely ridiculous. Freedom of Religion is a right each and every American citizen has. But because of this wanting to be "politically correct" all the time, we are robbed of that freedom, as well as freedom of speech, freedom of press, and other rights we as Americans recieve. Therefore, I go so far to say that being "politically correct" is not only wrong and just plain stupid, it is unconstitutional. There will never be world peace if we are constantly trying to smother the voices of different religions. There will never be world peace if we do not learn to love and accept one another. Until we learn to respect our fellow man, there will always be war in this world.
