It seems that many who call themselves Christian in America, believe that only their faith is meant to be protected under "religious freedom" laws?
There are some who openly state that nothing but Christianity should be allowed out in public in this country. Others are a bit nicer, just saying that only Christianity and perhaps Judaism, should be favoured by government.
We have outspoken groups blaming every disaster upon the lack of prayer and Bible study in public schools, of course those same groups would freak out if the Rig Veda or Quran were read in public schools.
There are Americans screaming about "creeping sharia laws" while at the same time demanding the Bible be the foundation for all laws.
Back in 2014, while still, Chief Justice on the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore was saying these things.

"Everybody, to include the United States Supreme Court, has been deceived as to one little word in the first amendment called 'religion,'" he said. "They can't define it."
Moore insisted that freedom of religion applies only the God of the Bible, and therefore the protections of the establishment clause do not extend to other religions, such as Islam and Buddhism.
"They don't want to do that, because that acknowledges the creator God," he said. "Buddha didn't create us. Muhammad didn't create us. It's the God of the Holy Scriptures."
According to Moore, the government and the Supreme Court should define religion as James Madison and George Mason did - "The duties we owe to the Creator and the manner of discharging it."
"They didn't bring a Koran on the pilgrim ship, Mayflower," he said. "Let's get real. Let's learn our history. Let's stop playing games."
