And that right is one of the most significant rights Americans have - on parallel with the right to free speech.

The question is how to reconcile competing rights when they butt heads. Conservatives, generally, would draw those lines differently from liberals.

If a religion seeks to force its beliefs into law, then only those beliefs are expressed, but other beliefs become illegal. Not good.
