National Religious Freedom Day

heh, I didn't even know there was any such commemoration until today. It certainly seems to me it would be a good opportunity to teach children and everyone about the importance of this basic American value.

1. I find it hard to show enthusiasm for National Religious Freedom Day

It is great for the religious people, but I doubt that we will ever see s National Day For Freedom From Religion .

It seems like just another way to leave the atheists on the outside looking in.

4. Or the perfect time to teach kids
