Yes, I do, of course, not want anyone to face eternal torment. That said, freedom of religion should exist for all.

Firstly senseless making too many polls
secondly there only can be yes, no or not determined or both yes/no
therefore
neither yes nor no
none of the above
being no options
thirdly in some context yes in others not also depending on effect of own but more aspects play role too

Yes you are right. I am not intending making any more. I shall leave that up to you. I think 4 is enough from anyone.
It is better to have too many options than too few. Silly though some of them may seem. If they do seem silly to you, do not feel any pressure to use the opportunity to express your view.

Unfortunately though , even in a supposed secular country , this is not the case .
I couldn't but beer on Easter Friday for instance

I understand you are angry. I do not understand what you are angry about. What are you angry about?
Perhaps I am mistaken and you are not angry at all. Yet I still do not understand your statement. Please explain if you wish to.

I freed myself from those chains, I hope they don't expect any real help or care from me.

It is not clear to me what you mean.
Can you tell me exactly what chains you are referring to?
Who don't you hope will expect any real help or care from you?

I may come back and respond later, as I'm kinda tired, but its really just none of my business what the religious people do.

I'm not seething , but there isn't a slightly mad but not seething smilie .
Well I often hear from "religious types" that people should be free to express their beliefs as long as they don't impinge upon others . Yet in Australia , an expressed secular nation , we still have laws restricting my freedom to engage in otherwise legal activity.
My example was that for 1 day per year I cannot purchase alcohol , that being Good Friday . So essentially I am hamstrung by a religious law .
Now if that's the worst thing that happens to me all year , well it's been a good year so I don't have a great deal to complain about. My plight is insignificant compared to millions of people around the world oppressed by theocratic laws .
My point being that peoples religious freedom rarely translates to that freedom not impinging on other peoples lives .
So we are talking about a religon which has no effect on people? That´s a new development.

No freedom of religion. Everyone should be Catholic.

Says the one who isn't even actually Catholic?

I was born into Catholicism and thus am saved, you, however, must convert or burn for eternity. There is no freedom in this issue. I WANT TO SAVE YOU, BRO!

Nope. But I take effect very broadly. For example, me being aware of their existence is an effect on my mental state.

Catholic doctrine rejects eternal security. Try again.

If it has no effect on me like say I wanted to marry a guy that has no effect on anyone else and they don't pass laws prohibiting me from doing so, sure.
