to your comments. All this is not a little thing, and one day, if we are not vigilant, Quinn will actually be right.

If looking for anything in the requirements of citizenship, I could find nothing about this....not a word. But I did find a study guide for getting citizenship, and it has this to say:

Term: What is freedom of religion?

Definition: You can practice any religion, or not practice a religion.

And this woman is the reason that religious people make me crazy. If they just stuck to their beliefs and practiced them in their churches and left the rest of us alone, I would have no issue with them.
