Claiming you have "freedom from religion" is like claiming you have "freedom from being offended."
No, you don't.
If someone does something you don't like in public, you can walk away or ignore them. If a lot of people do it, you can choose not to be among them. It's only if they force you to join in that your actual freedoms are infringed. And you definitely don't have the right to force them to stop just because you're offended. That's the same mentality as Mary Whitehouse.
