Reasons To Disagree
Everybody who strongly agrees with this is lying to themselves. Do you really think people should be free to practise their fundamentalist beliefs if those encourage killing? No, you don't. You're happy for people to believe in anything AS LONG AS that anything doesn't go against what you believe. Some so-called sects of christianity just seem to me to be money-making ventures for the eloquent but otherwise talentless. I would agree to absolute freedom, provided they were all taxed, and heavily. islam?? whitepower?? do we realy want people to practise there religion of hate?? people on the agrees side ------> it said ANY religion..... ANY!! not SOME excluding some... it said ANY! well i know I definately dont agree.

Reasons To Agree
PROVIDED: activities are consential and legal (ie no child sacrifices)and do not cause harm If you beleive in your religion you shouldn't have to wory about others, everyone should have the right to practise any religion without any trouble, otherwise we don't learn from history Only provided that it does not bring them into conflict with other people. People should be free to follow their own conscience and understanding with the proviso that their belief causes no harm to others. I strongly believe in freedom of choice. However that doesn't invalidate the concepts of right and wrong, justice and injustice. Therefore we as a society are obliged to determine cetain acceptable norms. Freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion. People should be able to practice what they want as long as it doesnt affect ANYONE else including their kids. Freedom of religion is a basic civil right. When it's gone too far is when people start going all fanatical and ramming their views down other ppeople's throats (e.g. certain past and present governments) and when it starts hurting other people (e.g. that sick Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Cult in the USA that practises polygamy). That's what people should be really fighting against, not people who simply believe that this is how it is. Absolutely Yes - no matter how misguided they are - BUT ONLY AS LONG AS THEY IMPOSE NO RESTRICTIONS OR OBLIGATIONS ON ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT SHARE THEIR IDEAS. More importantly athists must feel free to point out the stupidity of it all. ALL religions are based on mysticism and blind faith without a shred of evidence to support them.

Reasons for Remain Neutral
As long as they have the choice!!! Religious parents and communities normally deprive their own children of that choice. This is immoral and should in my opinion be outlawed completely. Leave religion for the only people who have real freedom - adults.
It's difficult to say whether people should actually have the right to choose for others about their religion. After all, children who are brought up in a strict religious household will generally hold that belief. Of course everyone should have a choice about what they believe in but most of the time it isn't the choice that they made, but the choice of their parents and grandparents etc. Unfortunately practicing any religion is a bit difficult because of the prejudice between them. Most people are open minded but some are just ridiculously prejudiced. So yes, you should have a choice and freedom to practice what religion you wish but it should surely be up to you, not what your family has indoctrinated into you.
