Freedom of religion in America?

Tiny Werewolf asked:
Just wondering…why is it that we can advertise Christianity all over America…on billboards…in magazines and so on and so forth…but if a billboard was placed on the side of a highway promoting Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or anything other than Christianity, all hell would break loose? I thought this country had freedom of religion…yet so many religions seem oppressed to me. BTW I’m not trying to knock Christianity…I respect it entirely. I just wish other religions were recognized more often.
Whoa really? (to the imagine no religion board?) that is pretty different…Well I live in NC so that possibly has something to do with it
ya…you guys are right. I’ve only seen NC for the most part. We only have Christian advertisements around this area so I guess I was quick to think it is the same throughout the country. Thanks guys
