text: It would seem that the esteemed author knows little about freedom of religion if he believes that the First Amendment rights of freedom of religion, press, speech, freedom to assemble (form alliances), and to petition the government can be separated one from another, and disposed of as he deems practical. No, these are all human rights and they are 'inalienable,' that is, no one can take such rights from you and you cannot give them away. Here at NCR, it may seem that it is acceptable to censor us for a good cause -- to make us 'Civil' (good boys and girls), and yes, I do realize that NCR is the owner here and can censor as they please.  But the government is not supposed to take away our rights, not on any pretext. Freedom of religion cannot exist without free speech, assembly (alliances), petitioning.  How to tax religion?  Just like anyone else -- tax their excess wealth.  In this county, a Catholic pastor lives in a five-story mansion. That's not religion. It is wealth. Tax it.
