The article above talks about the power that freedom of religion has.  In the authors eyes freedom of religion is the root to all our freedoms.  They claim christianity and its respects to the idea that all man is equal is what influenced the West's style of thinking.  Now Christianity was highly present in the foundation of the US and ill admit a lot of our founding fathers were christian as well.  But the idea of freedom and equality wasn't a Christian idea.  Any man being oppressed will fight for freedom whether his faith calls for it or not.  Christians need to take an ego check before they claim their faith to being the root of all our freedoms today.
