And who the hell are you to determined the concept of "freedom" for the rest of the world? Different cultures have different belief values, but of course, only your set of values is the correct one isn`t it.

I could point out here that Christianity also attempts to curtail a lot of freedoms, perhaps we should get a liberation force in to free us from those attempting to make us a Christian state?
