-and that -is- religion to those people.  We're all just a tad bit more comfortable with "thought policing" than we might realize.  In truth, the debate is not whether "thought policing" is kosher...but what level of thought policing we are comfortable with, and why.  

Governments (and societies) have -always- put restrictions on beliefs.  There has never been, in the history of man, a "free belief".

And I'm comfortable with the US courts adjudicating these issues.

As someone else alluded to, your freedom of religion ends where my nose begins. The US Constitution does not restrict people's beliefs. It restricts the (public) arenas in which they may express their beliefs but, hell, we have an abundance of religious crazies - thanks to the First Amendment.
