I am seeking answers.

This is not meant to be sarcastic. And I apologize in advance if it offends anyone. I am honestly seeking an answer.

I have read that the conservatives are saying President Obama, the Democratic Party and liberals in general are "declaring war" on religion and infringing on peoples "freedom of religion".

Also, I was talking to a Christian friend a while back who went into a 5 minute rant on how he was "sick and tired of having his religious freedoms taken away".
When I asked how were his freedoms being taken away his answer was;
By wanting gay marriage, legal abortion, gambling and other social issues.
By not being able to pray at his kids ballgame.
Not being able to read the Bible in school.
The schools couldn't teach creationism.
The city not being able to put up a nativity set.
I didn’t discuss the social issues but did the others.
I clarified with him that each would be geared toward the Christian religion. I then asked what if someone in the stadium, classroom or city weren’t Christians, what about the Jews, Muslims, or Atheist (all of which are very possible to be in our area to name a few). His answer was it wasn't fair he couldn't practice his religion as he wished.
I then asked what if we did all he wanted but there were also prayers of the Islamic faith, or readings from the Koran, or had displays of the Buddha, or taught reincarnation? His answer was no that would infringe on his freedom of religion. "I don't want my kids taught crap like that".
Basically, he see no problem having his religion and it’s teaching in any and all venues while not wanting any other religion also present.
I asked when was the last time the police didn’t let him go to church, or he had to go the the official church?
He of course couldn’t answer because it hasn’t happened.

The exact wording of the U.S. Constitution says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."

As I understand it that means, "Congress can not create a National Religion, or stop people from practicing any religion they wish (even if it is no religion). But, I am not a constitutional lawyer.

But, why do SOME Christians feel it means, “We are a Christian nation, and I have the freedom/right to practice Christianity but other religions are not allowed.” In other words, freedom to practice MY religion.

To me it seems that to me that SOME Christians feel the only way they can have “their” freedom of religion, is to impose “their” beliefs on all others while not allowing any others the same.

Why should one person’s freedom to practice religion infringe another’s?

Like I said, I am not being sarcastic. I really want someone to explain this to me.
