However, some individuals interprete their own religious freedom as the right to impose their particular religious beliefs on others, to denigrate, discriminate against and persecute others who do not share their beliefs. Some people in that group may leave, such as the few individuals who leave to join Islamic extremists
How did freedom of religion get defined as freedom from religion?
Freedom of religion is a principle that supports the right of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion in teaching, practice, worship and observance. Genuine freedom of religion also includes the freedom to change one's religion or belief, and the right not to hold any religious beliefs. In 1993, the UN's human rights committee stated that "the freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief necessarily entails the freedom to choose a religion or belief, including the right to replace one's current religion or belief with another or to adopt atheistic views."Merely holding different religious beliefs, or none at all, is probably not at the heart of this question. Some strongly hold the view that, while non-Christians may be exempt from Christian worship, they ought to be subject to rules defined by Christianity or by those who claim to represent Christianity. At the extreme, some Christians seek to prevent legal abortions because they believe that abortions are contrary to the will of God. This implicitly places God over people who do not believe in his existence, contrary to the right of freedom of religion.As stated by the United Nations human rights committee, freedom of religion includes, but is of course not limited to, freedom from religion. What now becomes apparent is that some religious people still believe that religious beliefs and norms should determine the actions of those who do not practise any religion.

What freedoms are guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution?
1) Freedom of religion (the government cannot establish one or prevent you from practicing one)2) Freedom of the press (the government cannot tell the media what to print or not print)3) Freedom of speech (you can say what you want about the government)4) Peacefully Assemble (you can get people together to protest something as long as you do not become violent or threatening)5) Petition the Government for Redress (you can ask the government to make right something you feel is wrong)6) Taxation of the Press (the Government can tax newspapers)The above rights are technically not granted by the First Amendment. If you look closely you will not find the word "grant" anywhere in the First Amendment. You will however find the terms "shall make no", "prohibiting", and "abridging". All of these restrictive terms are directed at the government. The First Amendment amounts to restrictions that are placed on the government, not the granting of any rights.The reason that the First Amendment doesn't grant any rights is because all our rights belong to us and we have had our rights from the moment of our birth. Remember the "endowed by their Creator" part of the Declaration of Independence? What Jefferson was saying there is that each man is the possessor of their rights and they are not granted by any king or potentate.Thus the question becomes, what rights may the government restrict or even deny? The First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights places restrictions on the government in regards to the certain enumerated rights that we already possess.
