If you live in the US, religious freedom actually is an immutable right. It is ensconced in the First Amendement, at the top of the list of the Bill of Rights, and is a founding purpose of the United States.

You have every right to your belief that religion is erroneous. You have no right to make adherence to your belief a precondition for entry into the United States. It betrays what the United States stands for.

        And how do you test for that? - Mary Anne - 4/20/2006 11:39:52 PM
        
        Simple. Screen immigrants at the Canadian embassy in their country of origin, before they even get here. - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:11:59 AM
        
        Immigration regulation by dress code! Ha! - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 1:45:59 PM
        
        I still think it's a good idea to screen on the basis of conspicuous religious attire. - SDF - 4/21/2006 4:27:02 PM
        
        You will screen the honest for being honest. Congratulations! - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 4:50:00 PM

        As I said elsewhere, irony is a mystery to you, isn't it? - Mary Anne - 4/22/2006 4:37:42 PM
