Religious freedom. Most of the big religions out there come with tons of rules and stipulations about what you can and can't do, which combined with a tribal psychology begins to impose those restrictions on everyone else. It's basically just the freedom to take away freedoms

It's weird how so many people define their morality by what they aren't or things they don't do rather than by how they actually treat others and the places they inhabit.

@ProfessorPlum77 As a devout maskologist, I only wear my mask outside where other people can see what an amazing person I am for wearing a mask

@TinyViolins GREAT reply!!!
@TinyViolins "Religious freedom" refers to being allowed to have your own religious beliefs; it doesn't refer to strictures placed upon adherents.

It is the free ability to choose one's beliefs, so it is freedom amongst religions in terms of choice, not freedom within a given belief system you choose with that freedom...

@SomeMichGuy You're a little late to the party, Captain Obvious
@TinyViolins Just discovered these posts.

It isn't obvious from your post that you understood the phrase. With lots of "English as other than primary language" types here, too, it might seem more opaque than it actually is.
