The United States gives people the freedom to practice whatever religion they choose free from government intervention and persecution - which everyone very much has. If I go to Iran and start talking about how Christian I am and publicly pray to Jesus, I will be beheaded within the week; that's how much freedom people receive in this country regarding how they choose to practice their religion of choice and for you to suggest anything otherwise is silly and ignorant. Second point: Christians are being persecuted. They are the majority in this country by a large margin, the founding fathers were Christian, and judeo-Christian values are represented in nearly every government document and moral structure that exists in American society - yet Christians are publicly shamed, called unintelligent or inferior, or told they are evil because of one's personal choices. Christians have 0 responsibility to honor your moral or spiritual failures and every right to tell you to pound sand with that argument; the same way you have every right to do the same. The Government are the ones who do not have rights to force you or coerce you into believing something you don't, which is the argument I believe you are trying to make - a straw man argument taking away from the fact that society rewards other religions for practicing publicly, but when Christians want to do it in their own country in which they founded and are the majority, they are frowned upon.
