That is absolutely the most hilarious thing I have read on this board. It shows just how off-base that claims of "religion > rules" are in this country. If you can justify any breaking of laws/rules with "freedom of religion", I'm going to start a religion that involves random human sacrifices and refusal to pay taxes.
