No, I'm speaking of the difference between the freedom of private practice of one's religion in one's home and through opting to attend religious services. This includes parents' prerogative to raise their children within their religious tradition. As opposed to the teaching of religion in a public sphere such as a public school. These are very different. If you can't appreciate that, you've got problems.
