Of course you have a right to worship but this nation has become much more of a theocracy than it was probably intended. People tend to use religion, and christianity in particular, as a vehicle to justify and further their own misguided values- a lot of killing in God's name... What used to be considered religious fanatacism is now considered the norm- it's sensationalism and people gobble that crap up. You don't need a religion to do the right thing-- be kind, show
to everyone, try to learn from one another and don't repeat history with thousands of young lives lost for nothing over religion-based wars.
