The point IS that without being an American (Constitution, et cetera), it wouldn't matter what a person believed ... it just might be illegal. I usually find this as somewhat of a humourously perplexing frustration in that people take for granted that they can be whatever they want to be spiritually AND the reason they can take it for granted is they are entitled by law to believe or not to believe as they choose. Go to China for example and announce you are a Falun Gung ... or to Germany and be a Hitleristiciser ... or to Talebanland and announce you want to spread the Glockenspiel ... good luck! It is because of the manmade laws being somewhat Universalist that allow the individual factions to engage in their hobbies pertaining to spiritual mythology. Take them laws away few a while and see what dragons arise as the equivalent to the Talebanisticisers ... or just like Uncle Joe Stalin ... or ... or ... Cuzzin' George who am designated by G*D to be leader of these them U.S. at this point in history ... jes' think a spell ... AG Ashcroft able to dictate what kind of salad oil with which to annoint one's self ... and remember Dick "the Tin Man" Cheney won't have the heart ... Some people think they are golfers then Americans, too, I'll bet ... and they, as a group, probably get up early on Sunday morning more religiously than some others who are 'sposed to get up early for religious Sunday.
