Very interesting. I had not grasped this change - until now.
He started using the lingo "all men are born equal" instead of "all men are created equal" to justify his abortion stance.
While the president may be a learn on the job novice when it comes to being an executive politician, I believe the guy is an experienced talker who picks his words carefully.
Freedom of worship means that you can hold services inside of a building tha the government allows to be used for that purpose. Ok for a Cathedral or for a rented stadium, but not for any “public” building like a school auditorium or school stadium.
Worship is a government-restricted privilege.
Religion is a right.
Freedom of worship is the same as freedom to pay taxes.

I just mentioned this to hubby and he mentioned that under Hitler, people were allowed “freedom of worship” but not freedom of religion. Scary that he is using those same words.
You are free to worship as you wish in private, for now, except for those Christians who’ve been ordered to stop holding church services in their home.

We know which religion will become the state religion...
and which one will be prohibited...

Islam is not a religion?
Obama Worship, Services 24/7 on MSNBC. Worship is for the messiah! and government.
>> Some in the State Department argue the words “religion” and “worship” can be used interchangeably and there is nothing to worry about.
Nonsense.
Worship is ambiguous whereas Religion is not. Worship could be interpreted as an action.
>> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… – US Constitution
One does not establish worship!
This will not end well if he/they continue down this path.
In order to implement their end-game policy, they will have to inter or kill millions of people,
because otherwise, those people will rise up in dissent and rebellion.
Worship is only a subset of all that constitutes religion, so this change in language could signal an attempt by the left to narrow religious liberty, which of course they despise since they despise religion (the exception at the moment being Islam, which they can’t help but like in an enemy-of-an-enemy-is-a friend kind of way).
because there will only be one religion
It’s amazing how badly this has been stretched out, the establishment clause and the freedom of religion.
What the founders sought to end, was the idea of a national church, wherein EVERY CITIZEN was a member and the tithing happened through a withholding that was then sent to that church. This is the way it happens in Germany (I think until recently), and its the way it happened in England.
The states could do what they wanted to. Period. As for the United States as a nation, the founders DID NOT WANT a national church.
This had ZERO to do with the idea of an expression by people within government that they were ARDENT believers in God, Christ, Christianity. In fact, one of the more shocking things is to travel to DC, go to the Lincoln Memorial, and actual see the Gettysburg address carved into the wall in giant letters. As it stands today, it is a direct violation of what ACLU activists would call ‘Church and State’.
