Why do christians think freedom of religion means they can do whatever they want?

Texas pastor openly calls on 'Christian nationalists' to 'impose their values on society' (MSN. com)

I read the article. This is why I no longer identify as a Christian. They’re so anti everyone but people who look, walk, talk, and act like them. There’s no freedom with these uptight evangelicals to just do you. It’s their way or the Highway. I chose the Highway.

They take "freedom" of religion, too literally
What "freedom" of religion, always meant was, you can be what you want, and not have anythign shoved down your throats, like christian ultra nationalist who have seized power like russia has in ukraine, are doing, to americans

You are not Christian if you are imposing values on someone. Hating on someone, is hypocritical.

I believe laws should deal with known and provable variables and there is no evidence that abortion or inter racial dating are wrong. Racial tolerance is self evident as a requirement for a just and fair world.

America is a Judeo-Christian nation regardless of if you like it or not. The concept of a monotheistic God by "nature" comes from the God (Yahweh) of Israel. For example:

Galatians 4:8

Formerly, when you did not know God (Yahweh), you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.

This God (Yahweh) by Nature is important in the founding principles of the United States of America. The founding fathers had an understanding that you who do not follow Yahweh are enslaved to false gods/idols... If you were to look at the Declaration of Independence it reads as follows:

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Our very founding is based on God's (Yahweh) law. This is why we are one nation under God.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,"

This is all very basic stuff and Judeo-Christian values are imposed on this nation through the legal fabric that makes up this nation. All Christians would be doing is maintaining our constitution and law. If you hate Christians so much, you picked the wrong nation. You should either warm up to Christianity or move along to another nation.

It's like you are completely illiterate and have never read the moral contract of this nation. You just parroted the pledge and never thought about what it meant. You demand constitutional rights, but you don't understand that your rights come from God (Yahweh). This is a Judeo-Christian nation, but the task of the Messiah was to bring the light to all nations. So regardless of what false idol you previously worshiped, you will be met with the God of Israel in America.

People of all religions are welcome, but you're going to hear the good news if you are in America.

So for example in Saudi Arabia you might of been a slave to the false god Allah, but in America you are given freedom by Yahweh and it is the responsibility of Christians to uphold those values, to spread the morality to the nations, and to free them from bondage.

People from all over the world are drawn to America... Why do you think that is? Why America? Why would people from all nations be drawn to a nation under the true God Yahweh?

Why do atheists think its ok for them and every non Christian religion to impose their values on socsity and do what they want.

[Anonymous]

Nobody necessarily has the right to do WHATEVER they want. But a true Christian certainly has the right to "freedom of speech" and to do what's right and proper in the eyes of God.

Christian nationalism is an oxymoron.
