Answer:
All must have the freedom to speak out of their own convictions, whether a religious believer, atheist or agnostic.
Explanation:
All must have the freedom to speak out of their own convictions, whether a religious believer, atheist or agnostic. To demand that religion is kept out of the public square in a free, democratic and plural society is nothing more than religious intolerance.
The responsibility of bringing the voice of faith and belief into public discourse rests on lay women and men who, “in keeping with their vocation, can influence public life, and direct it to the common good.” (11) Hearts and minds are more often engaged through witness and rational discourse than angry speeches, fiery sermons or threats and edicts from diocesan offices.
Religious freedom means that we all have the right to bring our faith to the table of public policy. It means that we have the right in our personal and professional lives to remain true to our beliefs in word and deed. It means we have the right to be heard, and we accept the responsibility to listen to others.
Religious freedom does not mean we have the right to bully those who do not share our beliefs
