197. Right but that will not grant you freedom from religion in some overarching way
just freedom to not practice or whatever if you so choose.
Some believe that this means that they will have the ability to go through life without religion being an observable factor and that is nonsense. I stick by establishment and no litmus tests to be the end game of separation of church and state. A nativity scene at the fire house does not dictate religion, despite being clearly religious in nature. The dictation and requirement of a certain faith or any at all is the end of the line for this protection. Its not a magic shield to keep you from hearing about Jesus or Buddha.
