There is no such provision for the freedom from religion.

What is freedom from religion, exactly? Does it mean you can tell the Muslim man praying in public to stop? I don't think so. This is quite close to an infringement on the right of freedom of speech in addition to the religious right.

There should be no special status for religion in this respect.

I cannot really comment more until I have a clearer view of what people view as a right to "freedom from religion." It's pretty murky to me at the moment.
