And just would that be? I don't think I have suggested any 'kind of religious freedom'. Can you be more specific?

I would never do that.

Your belief must not be of anybody's concern, you have no right to demand that others have to accept limitations so that you can do what you want.
I have never done that.

We must not want religious dictatorships again.
Do you know of any Democratic nations that are in danger of becoming one? Yours maybe? Mine isn't.
