Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on Sunday that Americans did not have Constitutional rights preventing religion from being imposed upon them.
During a Fox News Sunday discussion about recent baptisms of students at Auburn University, co-host Pete Hegseth reported that the Freedom From Religion group was behind a lawsuit against the university.
"It's not in the constitution!" Campos-Duffy interrupted.
"As Rachel points out, it's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion," Hegseth agreed. "So they're an anti-faith, anti-Christian group."
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says "that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise," according to the White House website.

Treaty of Tripoli, 1797, Article 11 states:
That, to christianists (as opposed to the seemingly few Christians who actually read their own holy book and know it says to keep your faith to yourself), means the opposite of what it says. They're deeply stupid people.
I really don't think it says keep your faith to yourself.
It does say to look after the poor, the sick and the foreigners, to not turn the temple into a market, and to pay fair wages, it says not to judge others and not to make rules for others to follow whilst not following them yourself, it says that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven, that if you're rich you should sell stuff and give the money to the poor, and it says that you should forgive other people's debt to you.
That's why Conservatives aren't terribly keen on actual stuff Jesus said or actual things the disciples did.
Well it does say
And
But a lot of Christians are not great about it

Yeah there are several verses (mostly New Testament I think) about sharing one's faith with literally everyone.
Matthew 28:19
Mark 16:15
This is the kind of thing I was thinking of.
They're two separate concepts. One is sharing the gospel, basically recruiting. The other is practicing your own faith, which should be done with modesty, in private. We've all seen the people who loudly pray about everything and want to show everyone how godly they are. Jesus said that they've already received their rewards, since their goal is to impress people, not have a relationship with God. God recognizes their falseness.
Out of curiosity, how does a figment of people's imagination do that?
OK, yup. Fair point.
They are not deeply stupid. They are deeply dishonest.
