How accurate is this quote from a blogger concerning religious freedom?
Posted on May 8th, 2010 by admin
"In order to have freedom of religion there must also be freedom from religion. The only way an individual can have the freedom to follow one religion is to be free from following all of the others." – Jaime Delgado
It sounds pretty spot on to me. If not, why not?
Interesting! It doesn’t quite apply to my family, however.
I was raised Jewish, and am still a practicing Jew. My husband was raised Lutheran and is still a practicing Lutheran. His Mom was Catholic, and one of his sisters is also a practicing Catholic.
We actually go, on a regular basis, to worship together, at a Catholic Church, a Lutheran Church and a Jewish Synagogue.
Our daughter is being exposed to everything, with the knowledge that she will worship in whatever way makes sense to her when she grows up.
As a Jew, I feel very welcome and comfortable in the Catholic and Lutheran Churches. Similarly, my husband feels very welcome and comfortable at the Synagogue.
Our daughter feels comfortable everywhere, and knows that God is wherever you look for Him.

Then don’t follow the other religions. But there is no right to stifle other religions just because they don’t agree with yours.
