Do we have the right to freedom from religion?
Advertisements [?]
I just had a cold call from a woman from a neighboring township who after saying her name and her general location asked me if I believed that there could be world peace. I was thrown because I knew this was a religious "grab you" question. I was so taken back that someone, I didn't know, could call me and question my religious beliefs. I told her that the question was too complicated and would involve my personal beliefs and I didn't wish to be grilled by someone who didn't know me on the phone. She went on about how the bible and I told her that I felt it was too personal and private to me. That it was as though she were asking my bedroom or bathroom habits. I said that she was wrong to push someone into answering a cosmic question only to fill in the blank with her views. My blood pressure is boiling.

Shouldn't we be free from religious harassment?
