Phil Plait asks us to watch this video [Freedom of and from religion]. He says,
Watch this video. We need more like it. And I’m amazed some people can’t figure this out. it’s really pretty simple.I'm one of those people who can't figure it out. I'm all for religious freedom. Everyone has the right to believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others. This applies in all countries, not just in the USA.
But the video seems to imply something more when it talks about "privacy" and "respect." It sounds very much like they are advocating for protection from criticism and challenges to their beliefs.
Is this correct? Is it against the law in America to question religion or make fun of some of the most outrageous examples?
