I think freedom of religion is very important but what irritates me is people that say they practice freedom of religion then turn around and brainwash their kids at the youngest possible age to think like them and tell them if they don't they will be tortured and burned forever in hell. This has a life long effect on how people think and prohibits free thinking and freedom of religion.
I do encourage freedom of religion but I also really wish people would just stop for 30 secs and from and 100% unbiased, objective standpoint rationally consider what they believe to be true. If they choose to continue believing whatever they believe, as long as it doesn't effect the well being of another human being, the so be it but at least they took a step that seems impossible for some people to take.

“You don't get to advertise all the good that your religion does without first scrupulously subtracting all the harm it does and considering seriously the question of whether some other religion, or no religion at all, does better. ”
