ACLU supports religious liberty

[MissileMan]

"Free" exercise of religion should be the same as "free" speech. There will always be some reasonable limits placed upon these freedoms which should be determined by the public and a majority vote if needed. Take the public library for instance. You are not allowed to talk and make noise in the library.

There's been a lot of complaining that people's "free exercise" of religion is being infringed on. With all that complaining, surely someone has some specific examples.

Free speech and free exercise shouldn't be determined by a majority vote. That's exactly why a 2/3 majority + 3/4 of the states are required to make an amendment... so a simple majority can't just limit free speech.

There should be reasonable limits, usually defined by possibly infringing upon the safety or freedoms of others (the traditional example being yelling fire in a crowded theater).

WE live in a DEMOCRACY and the MAJORITY rule according to the Constitution.

Really?
Doesn't say "democracy" anywhere in the constitution.
