While I may personally believe that Faith and Freedom are and should be intertwined because the freedom of all humankind is an inherent right bestowed upon us by our Creator, I would have to acknowledge those who do not profess to a faith in a higher being or power still possess the right to life and liberty.  But those without Faith have no right to demand the silence of those with Faith, especially in the public square.  It seems today that our society has no problem ridiculing those who profess a faith in a higher power or Creator, even though a majority respond that they do believe in God.  In Nazi Germany, the practice of religion was outlawed.  In communist countries one of the first things the ruling government does is make it illegal to practice one’s faith.  In countries where only one faith is permitted, or the laws of the country are dictated by religious doctrine, those who profess another faith are treated harshly and often driven out or killed.  Both the faithful and the non-believers alike need to recognize this as we look at the history of human civilization, and acknowledge what the founding fathers declared to be our rights under the Constitution.  We all need to understand that these rights must not be denied of anyone by any person, group, or government and treat one another with respect, whether we share the same faith or not.
