An individual citizen’s right to worship as they themselves see fit, is none of my business.

Any attempt by another citizen, to cajole, address, emphasize or examine, with the desired outcome being to gather that individual into another form of worship, foreign to his own, is trampling upon that person’s freedom.

People do have free will by GOD, but Christians also have a call to share the gospel to the non-believers so they might be saved.

Romans 10:14-15

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

So you never attempt to influence another citizen to examine their beliefs and persuade them to aligns with yours - including that no citizen should ever attempt to influence another citizen to examine their beliefs and persuade them to aligns with theirs? Just what do you engage in on FR?

Or is this only restricted to religion and the free exercise thereof?

And that is your definition of freedom?

Truth is exclusive by nature, and one cannot contend for any Truth without opposing conflicting ones.
