That is not how the Court has interpreted the First Amendment.

In the US we have both freedom of Religion an freedom of speech. That mean that people are free to talk about their religion in the public arena.
Although you should be careful what you do and say in the workplace, since private companies have the right to set their own policies on religious speech.
So, you are free to express your religious views but remember to be respectful to others. If someone does not wish to hear about your beliefs, do not badger them. Just wish them a good day and go on with your life.

If you live in the United States, your religious freedom doesn’t even extend that far if you pay taxes. In the U S, your tax dollars go to charities that you may find morally repugnant, and because most American’s haven’t read their own constitution, they don’t know that this is illegal. Government supports christianity now, but wait a little while and the shoe will be on the other foot. Recent Polls (multiple) conducted by evangelical organizations show that LESS THAN ONE PERCENT of people ages 18 – 24 have a biblical worldview
As to whether your religious freedom extends to your knocking on my door to evangelize, NO! That is abusive.
Requiring me to say or wait for christians to finish a prayer before a highschool football game or any other event outside of church = NO. That is abusive.

Because “religious freedom” is a way for religion to impinge on our right to be free. It is a disgrace. A selfish act of self-righteousness and yet in America (and other countries), religious freedom seems to be a rite of passage for those who want to make our world a nightmare. Same goes with muslims.
Evolution will win in the end. Not the koran or the bible.
Stop killing innocent people in the name of a myth.
