I wonder how many people read the headline about Romney's speech, and didn't actually read the speech.
I was very impressed. Freedom with no spirituality is no freedom at all. If you spirituality is an organized religion, so be it. I just hope he will ack as he says and work for separation of church and state.
He did not say spirituality, he said religion. Two very different things.
He also disparaged the "religion of secularism", whatever that is. We are made to believe that he sees secularism as a religion, which is a contradiction in terms, to say the least. Also, for someone asking for tolerance of his own religion, for him to attack, however subtly, those who choose no religion or to keep religion and civics separate is highly alarming.

I guess Mormonism requires religious freedom, but that didn't stop missouri from throwing them out.
