> but it seems the most avid proponents of keeping
church and state separate are actually seeking freedom
*from* religion, rather than freedom *of* religion.

As someone who defines herself as agnostic/atheist, I feel
that freedom from and freedom of are synonymous in this

Can you explain this point more? Your phrasing makes me
think your position is that freedom from religion is bad. . .
