Freedom of Religion

Dear Editor,

It looks like some people never went to school and learned nothing about history. To hear a Commissioner saying that there will be no separation between church and state is incredible. What next, inquisitions?

We have freedom of religion and should cherish this. Many people sacrificed their lives for this right. I want the government to build a Muslim mosque, a Jewish synagogue, or a Hindu temple also, because these people are also taxpayers and contribute to our community.

We should never forget the countless religious wars that started the mass exodus from Europe to the New World seeking freedom of religion.
