[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2182510, member: 10606"] There is no such thing as freedom from religion. Anywhere. The Constitution does not guarantee such a thing, and even if it did achieving such a feat would not be possible as atheism is, itself, a religion. To make a rule that kicks out military members for telling others about their religion is a violation of the first amendment because the first amendment guarantees the free exercise of religion. What many seem to forget is that we have our first amendment rights to protect us from those who are offended by our religion, or lack there of. It is to protect us from those that are offended by our opinions and beliefs and would try to silence us. You may not like hearing someone speak of their faith or try to persuade you to join their faith, but if you believe their right to do so should be infringed then how can you be offended when someone attempts to curtail your second amendment rights?
