QM, if a missionary wants to approach you on the street, s/he has a right to try, just as you have a right to say you're not interested and walk away. The fallacy of the person who put up that post is that he is confusing individual rights with societal organization. He has the right to missionize, minister or what have you, all without interference from the govt, and subject to reasonable time, place and manner restrictions (standard first amendment boilerplate that applies to freedom of speech). What he does not have the right to do is demand that the government, with its power to compel people, support his mission. That's not a violation of his right to missionize in the slightest.
