to promote harmful ideas and to instigate or inflict harm, also
not on consenting persons,
by means of labeling it to be Religion, or a religion, or
by acting within or under the cloak of, or in the name of

'
'
Religious Freedom is NOT the "freedom" to use religion, religious
doctrine or religious ideas, and religious organizations, in order
to hate, exclude, prosecute, harm, punish, blackmail, extort, or
to otherwise break the will, or the sense of decency, or the

or group - or

to prevent or thwart or discourage people from using government
or public services,
to prevent or discourage people from using civil and legal
institutions, and educational and cultural facilities, nor
to prevent or thwart or discourage people from informing the
free press and media
- which all are institutions, that,
in a free country in which you should be living by
now or soon,
are specifically created after long experience and
centuries of suffering and hard work by the most caring,
and that
are maintained for citizens to go to and use
in order to BE protected and to BE informed,
in order to ensure their freedom and well-being is
maintained and guaranteed,
and to make sure, they are not being manipulated and
dominated, and not denied vital knowledge.
'
'

doctrine or religious ideas, and religious organizations, in order
to prevent or hinder others from informing themselves - and also

managers and its idol(s) or prophet(s),
including all hidden facts, any hidden activities,
and
including all financial dealings and sources of
income, and all assets and all spending,
of its main religious organization(s), and of affiliated
or front organizations as well,
- a religious organization being
neither a commercial organization,
nor a military organization,
nor a law-enforcement organization,
nor a public relations firm,
nor a law firm,
nor a covert intelligence activity, and
not a political group -
nor is Religious Freedom, the "freedom" to use religion, religious
doctrine or religious ideas, and religious organizations in order to
to prevent or hinder the people of a religion, in being informed
about and getting non-manipulative, extensive information about

knowledge, or
to establish and by consequence command
a military-type, or secret-police-type, or intelligence-
type, or political-police-type organization or group of
individuals, or any
other coercive, or secret, or extorting, or blackmailing,
or covering-up-criminals, or hiding-criminals type of
organization or group of individuals,
neither within a religious organization, nor because of, or in
the name of a religion.
'
'
'
'
Religious Freedom IS the freedom FROM enforcement of a religion,
of religious ideas, of religious customs and of religious
practices, on you and on others,
so that you may choose your own religious activity, conviction and
preferences, and so you may choose
to what extent and for how long and under what conditions you
want to participate in any religious customs or practices,
based on your and others' fully informed decision, with as much
freedom and awareness as is possible in our current society, for
you and others.
'
'
After all, any religion and any religious activity should be a joyful
and life-enhancing experience for everyone.
