Why do people like your friend see things from a completely self-centered perspective, and can't understand that free exercise is a two-way street?

I have no idea, other than that is some folks' natural inclination to think that way.

What you have is the freedom to practice your religion. You don't have the right to involve other people in your exercise of your religion, nor to have the government involve itself in your exercise of your religion.
