I’m 65. I have already determined as to which and what my ‘religious beliefs’ are.
I have spent 10 years of my life defending every American citizens’ ‘religious beliefs’, without once asking them to align with mine. I expect the same of them, towards me.

But my liberality of mind is illimitable, and I am only left wondering how you could think such things.
