How is anyone being forced? If they don't like it, they can ignore it or plug their ears.

Preventing school-sponsored prayer and censorship of school sponsored plays is a consistent position. They're both a defense of freedom from the imposition of other's moral and religious beliefs. Whether than imposition is by the minority or majority is irrelevant.

Wrong. Both are the imposition of one group's moral code on others that may or may not agree with it. Just because you decide to label your position a "defense of freedom" instead of the moralizing it is doesn't make it any more valid. Repetition does not make truth.
