It almost reads like satire (the article you linked, not your post comments). Sadly, I am sure that it is not. These fundementalists who believe that it is their duty and responsibility to spread Christianity really get on my bad side.
I always thought of freedom of religion to be more of a protection from religious persecution, not a protection of religion. My understanding, weak though it may be, of the tenets of the founding of this country as it regards religion is that the government should protect people from persecution based on their religious choice (to my mind this includes the choice not to practice religion at all), not protection of any one religion.
I wonder if the author of that article recognizes that most of the "founding fathers" were Deist not Christian?
