They’re not allowed to be religious fanatics in public.
Oh they very much are. As long as it’s christian.
You’re also missing the forest through the trees.
This is the sort of thing someone says when they really don’t know what to say but want to sound like they have Very Profound Thoughts.
Okay, since you need it spelled out… France may not have appropriately applied its freedom from religion, but that isn’t the point. The point is a country like France doesn’t just have freedom from a religious state, but also extends that further, and that’s the part we (the US) are missing. You got hung up on the detail instead of paying attention to the meaning I was conveying, hence missing the forest through the trees. There is nothing profound about it at all, just saying you’re looking far too deeply instead of looking at the bigger picture of what was said.
No I think they made a really good point that you are ignoring because it doesn’t suit your narrative.
When countries ban minority faiths they effectively reward the majority one.
You can have freedom from religion without abolishing religion.
That would be a good point of France wasn’t just an example. I’m not saying to emulate them exactly.
